  • Hi,

     

     

    There aren't CLI utilities that allow you to get the exact performance data that you see in the performance graphs. The graph stats are generated from rrd data. You could use rrdtool to manipulate the files:

     

     

    http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/

     

     

    Else, what in particular are you trying to view? You can get global stats using 'b global' and per VIP stats using 'b virtual show'. For additional info on CLI commands, try searching on AskF5 for "CLI guide" for your version of LTM.

  • Thanks, but in fact i just want to get the number of active connections every period of time by command line,

     

     

  • You may try something like this: "bigtop -once -bytes -conn" but I wouldn't run this too much for the sake of CPU utilization.

    In 10.0 and up, you can use tmsh to get similar information.

     

     

    tmsh sh sys performance connection

     

     

    There are several options of interest, "historical" and "detail"

     

     

    There are a number of similar components under "sys performance"

    THANKS A LOT.
