Hi,

the following one-liner gives you a list of all virtual servers and their current availability states: 

tmsh -q -c 'cd /;show ltm virtual recursive' | grep -iE '(ltm::virtual|availability)' | sed ':a;N;s/\n/ /' | sed -r 's/ltm::virtual server *:? *//I; s/ *availability *:? */ /I'

Now you can filter on the specific availability state you are looking for and count the lines: 

tmsh -q -c 'cd /;show ltm virtual recursive' | grep -iE '(ltm::virtual|availability)' | sed ':a;N;s/\n/ /' | sed -r 's/ltm::virtual server *:? *//I; s/ *availability *:? */ /I' | grep -i offline | wc -l
