Subcollection Resource

kind: state

A subcollection resource is essentially the same as a resource. As with collections and subcollections, the only difference between the two is that you must access the subcollection resource via the subcollection attached to the main resource.

Example

To build on the subcollection example: pool is the resource, members_s is the subcollection, and members (the actual pool member) is the subcollection resource.

>>> from f5.bigip import ManagementRoot
>>> mgmt = ManagementRoot('192.168.1.1', 'myuser', 'mypass')
>>> pool = mgmt.tm.ltm.pools.pool.load(partition='Common', name='p1')
>>> member = pool.members_s.members.load(partition='Common', name='n1:80')

The JSON below shows a f5.bigip.tm.ltm.pool.members_s.members object.

{
    "kind": "tm:ltm:pool:members:membersstate",
    "name": "n1:80",
    "partition": "Common",
    "fullPath": "/Common/n1:80",
    "generation": 18703,
    "selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~Common~p1/members/~Common~n1:80?ver=11.6.0",
    "address": "192.168.51.51",
    "connectionLimit": 0,
    "dynamicRatio": 1,
    "ephemeral": "false",
    "fqdn": {
      "autopopulate": "disabled",
    }
    "inheritProfile": "enabled",
    "logging": "disabled",
    "monitor": "default",
    "priorityGroup": 0,
    "rateLimit": "disabled",
    "ratio": 1,
    "session": "user-enabled",
    "state": "unchecked",
}

Tip

It’s easy to tell that this is a Resource object because the kind is state, not collectionstate.
