I use the following to dump all my BIG-IP statistics into a metrics system (in this case, Graphite).

- Brian_Gibson_30Feb 25, 2015NimbostratusThat's pretty cool stuff. Not what I was looking to do per se in this question but this is something I have been looking to do but with the IStats API, albeit not with much luck.
- mhite_60883Feb 25, 2015CirrocumulusAh! Whoops -- didn't read your question close enough, sorry. You probably want this: https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/icontrol-soap/System__Connections.html
- Brian_Gibson_30Feb 25, 2015NimbostratusPerfect! Thanks so much. Also, I am going to play around with that iControl script. That is really interesting and I hate the SNMP polling stats for VIPs.
- mhite_60883Feb 25, 2015CirrocumulusI have a newer version of the iControl statistics gathering script that I plan on publishing to the aforementioned repository "any day now." :) But I agree, trying to grab all that stuff from SNMP is... painful.
