NimbostratusUnable to get few fields in the iControl REST Api response
The iControlREST APi response seems to eliminate fields that are not configured in F5. Below is one example.
I tried quering http://<F5 IP>/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool, for a pool where a monitor is configured, the API returns the monitor field , however, if a monitor is not configured (or) in disabled state, the "monitor" field is absent. Is this how the iControl REST API normally works. Ideally, it should give all the field names in the API output and an empty value field if a property is not configured rather than completing removing the field. Please advice.
