Getting active pool member connections using Python

If I want to see all of the client connections connecting to a pool member from the CLI I can do something like a "show sys connection ss-server-addr 1.2.3.4". I can also do this using Postman mapping to ";, but I cannot figure out how to do this via Python.

 

Using Python if I try to connect to "bigip.sys.raw" I do not see a module called "connection" or anything similar. Does anyone know how, or have some sample code on how to accomplish this?

 

Thanks!

    The stats are pulled from the pool or member itself. Try this for an example:

    !/usr/bin/env python3

from f5.bigip import ManagementRoot
from getpass import getpass
from pprint import pprint

hostname = 'my.f5.ltm.net'
username = 'foo'

mgmt = ManagmentRoot(hostname, username, getpass())

pool = mgmt.tm.ltm.pools.pool.load(name='my_pool_name')
poolstats = pool.stats.load()

pprint(poolstats.raw)

members = pool.members_s.get_collection()
member0_stats = members[0].stats.load()

pprint(member0_stats.raw)
