Description

Monitors the F5-LB system interface errors in, errors out, drops in, drops out, traffic in, traffic out, utilization in and utilization out.

Prerequisites

SNMP should be enabled in end device and device should support F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB OIDs and SNMP credentials should be attached against the device in portal.

How to Apply: While assigning the template, it will show Get Components discovery button. Once we click on it, it will show values for the following properties: sysIfxStatAlias sysInterfaceStatus sysInterfaceEnabled Name User should select whatever properties they want to monitor.

Metric Parameters

Metric Parameters
ParameterDescription
Frequency
  • Frequency is the interval in which you want to probe and collect metric data from the target device/resource
  • Frequency is defined in minutes (min).
    • Warning ThresholdIf the metric value satisfies the condition defined along with Warning Threshold value, then a notification is sent to the user.
    Critical ThresholdIf the metric value satisfies the condition defined along with Critical Threshold value, then a notification is sent to the user.
    AlertThe alert value can be set to either Yes or No. If it is Yes, then an alert message is sent to the user.
