iControl get Active/Standby State and Sync Status

I have two F5 LDM devices in an active-standby HA device group called datasync-global-dg. I want to add local traffic components to the active, then force a sync.

 

My F5 sw version is 11.6.1.

 

How do I query the active? I can display the group like this:

 

curl -sk -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET

But I can't get the status.

 

curl -sk -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET

{"code":404,"message":"Object not found - /Common/datasync-global-dg","errorStack":[]}

 

I know that I can force a sync via utilCmdArgs.

 

curl -sk -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"command":"run","utilCmdArgs":"config-sync to-group datasync-global-dg"}'

So maybe there's a way to run the "show /sys failover" as a utilCmdArgs?

    This works, to execute from bash.

     

    gba2saas02-57> curl -sk -u 'admin:admin' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST -d '{"command":"run","utilCmdArgs":"-c \"tmsh show /sys failover\""}' {"kind":"tm:util:bash:runstate","command":"run","utilCmdArgs":"-c \"tmsh show /sys failover\"","commandResult":"Failover active for 15d 15:05:30\n"}

     

    (What is the URL path to execute a tmsh command directly, instead of executing "tmsh" from bash?)
