qkview files contain diagnostic information needed by F5 support. This recipe generates them on each device and downloads them in one workflow.

​
Generate and Pull

# 1. Generate the qkview on each device in the group
crcli devicegroups ssh prod-ha -c "tmsh run util qkview"

# 2. Pull the generated files from every device
crcli devicegroups pull prod-ha /var/tmp/*.qkview -o ./qkviews/
Files are saved as <hostname>_<filename> — e.g. bigip-prod-01_bigip.qkview — so they never overwrite each other.

​
Verify the Files

ls -lh ./qkviews/

​
Single Device

crcli devices ssh <device> -c "tmsh run util qkview"
crcli devices pull <device> /var/tmp/bigip.qkview -o ./qkviews/

​
With Claude (MCP)

Generate a qkview on each device in prod-ha, then pull them all to ./qkviews/
qkview generation can take several minutes on loaded devices. The SSH command will wait for it to complete before returning.
