Hello,

 

Maybe you can configure public key authentication with ssh to allow an external system to get seamless access to tmsh.

 

Then you can call a command to show DOS L7 reports. Check under "Analytics DOS L7" within the following pdf document : https://support.f5.com/content/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/bigip-tmsh-reference-12-0-0/_jcr_content/pdfAttach/download/file.res/bigip-tmsh-reference-12-0-0.pdf

 

In version 12.0, you can use iControl Rest API to get the same info using the follwoing uri /mgmt/tm/analytics/dosL7

 

You can also check the following uri : /mgmt/tm/security/dos
