iControl REST question

Question

Is there any way I can get all the pools starting with some specific names with a REST call.&nbsp;
For example:&nbsp;
I have pools with name:&nbsp;
CDEQ_http_pool
CDEQ_https_pool
CDEQ_8080_pool&nbsp;
I need to get the state of all the pools starting with CDEQ_.&nbsp;
I tired with:&nbsp;
$select=name eq CDEQ_http_pool&nbsp;
even I don't get any data back for this pool.&nbsp;
Do I need to loop through all the pools and filter it in my script or can I get it through a REST call.&nbsp;

You'll probably want to query https://bigip/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/?$select=name,fullPath, filter your results, and the query the state of each pool that matched using https://bigip/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/(fullpath)/stats?$select=status.availabilityState.  You will have to replace / in the fullPath with ~ in your pool member query.

Thanks Brad. Sorry, I think I did not made my question clear. I have three pools that start with CDEQ_. As we do CDEQ* to filter only the pools that start with CDEQ in GUI. Is there a way to achieve the same doing a GET call like  https://bigip/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~Common~CDEQ*. Or do I need to do the usual way. Get all the pools returned with https://bigip/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/ and match the pool name that starts with CDEQ through my script.

You can not query with pattern matching or wildcards at this time.  You will have to gather, filter, and query status of each like I suggested above.
