F5 System Stats like CPU/Memory/Tput/SSL TPS to be made available via bigip_device_info_module

[puseth]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

My customer is trying to build Auto-Scale (Scale-Out) Logic based on the current LTM Parameters. They want a way to fetch system critical details like (CPU/Memory/Throughput/SSL TPS) before they are breached on either F5 Hardware or F5 VE, so that they can call out or handle the new API's for spinning a new F5 VE.

Describe the solution you'd like

Having these details available in the bigip_device_info will help customer to run gather facts kind of playbook and get all the details returned via existing LB Layer.

https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/orchestration/ansible/devel/modules/bigip_device_info_module.html#bigip-device-info-module

These details are already available via following API's , so it's more of making them available to existing module.

/mgmt/tm/sys/cpu /mgmt/tm/sys/memory /mgmt/tm/sys/performance/throughput /mgmt/tm/sys/performance/throughput/SSL%20TPS /mgmt/tm/sys/performance/throughput/Service

Suggest user Ansible build-in URI module to query the endpoints. Supporting these data via modules might delay the processing. Hope this helps. Closing the issue.
