Pool member status on F5 DNS objects via iControl REST

I got a question on how to retrieve the status of pool members on F5 DNS objects via the iControl REST interface. In the GUI you get fancy red, yellow, black, blue, and green painted circles, diamond...

Thank you for your prompt response. Here's an update for you. I was able to successfully post it and get the results (i.e.\commandResult) in Postman using the following:

 

POST:

 

Body: { "command":"run", "utilCmdArgs":"-c 'tmsh run cli script BIGIPDNSpoolmemberstatus.tcl a MY_POOL'" }

 

So... I'm now just trying to translate that into my Python code. I'm quite new to the F5 SDK as I just started working on it this week so I'm not sure how to get that written into my Python code. What you provided above makes sense but I'm not sure what else is missing or in question in my Python code?

 

I think it's safe to rule out partitions given that I'm now able to get the expected results from a different means (being Postman).
