BIG-IP DNS: Check Status Of Multiple Monitors Against Pool Member
Good day, everyone!
Within the LTM platform, if a Pool is configured with "Min 1 of" with multiple monitors, you can check the status per monitor via tmsh show ltm monitor <name>, or you can click the Pool member in the TMUI and it will show you the status of each monitor for that member. I cannot seem to locate a similar function on the GTM/BIG-IP DNS platform. We'd typically use this methodology when transitioning to a new type of monitor, where we can passively test connectivity without the potential for impact prior to removing the previous monitor.
Does anyone have a way through tmsh or the TMUI where you can check an individual pool member's status against the multiple monitors configured for its pool?
Here are many more commands for other purpose i keep trying and experimenting, for that you have to be good in GREP :
The following command will find pools with a return to DNS option and print the name of the pools.
tmsh -c 'cd /; list gtm pool recursive all-properties one-line' | awk '/return-to-dns/{print $4}'

Thank you for your response F5_Design_Engineer; I appreciate it! Sadly, it seems the system is limited in it's response.
The typical output of "tmsh show gtm pool a %MY_POOL% members detail" only shows a simple up/down status with a reason of one monitor. What I'm looking for is to track the status of MULTIPLE independent monitors against a Pool member, when the monitor is configured as a "min 1 of" several monitors.
The use case would be to be able to test a new monitor against a pool in parallel with what exists in production, all the while not impacting production with the test. As I mentioned, the LTM platform allows you to do this by running a tmsh show against a specific monitor, but in gtm it appears this is not an option.
I hope that helps to explain it better, and I really appreciate your assistance!
