F5 LTM pool/VS checking

[KiwiBloke]

Hi,

We run F5 LTMs and would like to be able to monitor pool memberships and VS health via Nagios.

I have found http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... ks/details
on nagiosexchange but have not tested it. I am aware that it is written for v4.5 or v9.x we run v10.2.1

Has anyone else tried this on v10.x? I'm also checking with F5 devCentral to see if someone has answered this question from the other end.

Cheers,

KB.

We haven't tested this plugin, but maybe we can get one of the community member to chime in..

Not sure its exactly the same, but you may be able to monitor with the F5 MIB via SNMP. Something like

check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.1.2.1.8.0 -Cxxxxxx -P 2c -m F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB <---- client connections
check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.1.2.1.15.0 -Cxxxxxx -P 2c -m F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB <---- Server connections

There should be several MIBs provided by the vendor that can be viewed to find the desired metric.
