Virtual Servers & Pool Management

Overview

Switch the workspace switcher at the top of the sidebar to Application Delivery Controller, then open Local Traffic → Virtual Servers (URL: /applications/virtual-servers). This view aggregates virtual servers from every ADC and Cloud WAF / Bot device in inventory — F5 BIG-IP, NetScaler, and others — into one searchable list, rather than requiring you to check each device separately.

Data reflects the state of your ADCs and Cloud WAF / Bot platforms as of their last discovery run; each row's Last Sync column shows how fresh that is.

The Virtual Servers List

Each row shows:

• Virtual Server — the VS object name and its partition (e.g. Common)
• Device — which ADC this VS belongs to
• App Owner / Environment — ownership metadata, set from the VS detail page; shows — until assigned
• Destination — the VIP:port the VS listens on
• FQDN — a discovered hostname, if any, or —
• Protocol — TCP, UDP, HTTP, or HTTPS as reported by the device
• Status — a badge reflecting the VS's health as last discovered (see Quick Reference below)
• Pools — count of pools attached to this VS
• Last Sync — how long ago this row was last refreshed by discovery

A single search box (Search VIPs, devices, or destinations...) filters the list by free text across VS name, device, and destination — there is no separate multi-field filter panel on this view.

Opening a Virtual Server

Click any row to navigate to a dedicated detail page for that VS (not a slide-in panel) — the URL changes and a back arrow returns you to the list. The header repeats the VS name, its status badge, partition, owning device, destination, and last-sync time, and offers a Refresh Now button with a countdown to the next automatic refresh.

The page is organized into six tabs:

• Overview — live stat tiles, historical charts, pool members, iRules, profiles, and ownership
• Ansible / YML — an auto-generated Ansible playbook for this VS
• AS3 / JSON — an auto-generated F5 AS3 declaration
• AS3 / YAML — the same AS3 declaration in YAML form
• TMSH — the equivalent tmsh configuration, including full iRule source
• Logs — recent activity for this VS

The Overview Tab

The Overview tab is a live operational dashboard for the VS, not just a config summary:

• Stat tiles — Connections, Total Requests, Throughput In, and Throughput Out, refreshed on demand or on the next auto-refresh cycle
• Historical Stats — Connection Count and Throughput charts with a selectable time range (default: Last 24 hours)
• Pools & Members — each pool's load-balancing method and status, with a per-member table of address:port, status, current connections, and in/out throughput
• iRules — the iRules attached to this VS, by name (F5 only)
• Profiles — client-SSL / server-SSL and other profiles attached to the VS; shows None attached when none are configured
• Ownership — App Owner and Environment dropdowns; Environment includes a Guess shortcut that infers a value from naming conventions

Generated Ansible, AS3, and TMSH

The remaining tabs render the same virtual server as infrastructure-as-code, generated live from Versus's synced database snapshot — useful both for review and as a starting point for GitOps:

• Ansible / YML — a playbook using the f5networks.f5_modules.bigip collection, with VS, pool, and pool-member variables filled in
• AS3 / JSON and AS3 / YAML — an F5 Application Services 3 (AS3) declaration with a Tenant/Application/serviceMain structure matching the VS's actual pool, monitor, and TLS configuration
• TMSH — the native tmsh config block for the VS's pool and any attached iRules, including the full iRule source — useful for a quick read without opening the BIG-IP CLI

Each of the Ansible and AS3 tabs offers a JSON Editor / Form Editor (or Editor / Form Editor) toggle, plus Save to Repo and Git Push actions — until saved, a banner reads Not yet saved — content is auto-generated from DB.
