Trying to create Icontrol to retrieve values similar to show /sys connection

Question

Hi guys,&nbsp;
So I want to create a script to help people that don't have access to the LTM find the information available in the show /sys connection command.  &nbsp;
But I'm having some trouble finding the right command in the API docs to get that information.  &nbsp;

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

That'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.

Ah! Whoops -- didn't read your question close enough, sorry. You probably want this:

Perfect!   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.

I have a newer version of the iControl statistics gathering script that I plan on publishing to the aforementioned repository "any day now."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.
