Discrepancy between iControl statistics and console
I am using iControl to pull statistics on pool members.
I first invoke LocalLB.Pool::reset_statistics on the pool level, which successfully zeroes out all of the statistics for the pool, and all of its members.
I then invoke LocalLB.Pool::get_statistics, and then LocalLB.PoolMember::get_statistics on each of the pool members.
The problem is that I find a discrepancy between the statistics pulled via iControl, and the statistics displayed for the same pool members on the BIG-IP console. The statistics should be the same, especially after all traffic has stopped flowing through the pool.
The console always displays the correct values. However, sometimes I obtain the correct values via iControl, and sometimes I obtain zeroes, as if iControl has not yet pulled the statistics.
Are you aware of any timing or synchronization issues that can explain this discrepancy?
Thanks,
David
