Discovery and monitoring of F5 BIG-IP

For the F5 BIG-IP load balancer, the
Server Manager
discovers the following:
  • Virtual IPs
  • Virtual servers
  • Service
  • Failover pairs
  • Interfaces
  • Ports
  • Trunks
  • VLANs
  • MACs
  • Processors
  • Memories
  • Filesystems
  • Power supply
  • Fan
  • Temperature sensor
  • LoadBalancerPool
  • LoadBalancerPoolMembers
    The
    Server Manager
    monitors the following:
  • Virtual IPs
  • Virtual servers
  • Availability of load balancer interfaces
  • Utilization of load balancer interfaces
  • Status of load balancer failover pairs
  • Environmental factors, such as power supply status, CPU temperature, chassis
  • Temperature and fan speed
  • Available disc drive space and partitions on the Load Balancer
  • Synchronization of configuration between IG-IP pairs
  • LoadBalancerPool
  • LoadBalancerPoolMembers
    The
    Server Manager
    generates notifications to the
    Global Manager
    when it detects failures, high utilization of CPUs, and other activity as measured against thresholds. It generates a notification when one element in a load balancer pair fails over, when the virtual servers are down or degraded, and when a virtual IP is found to be running on an inactive load balancer.
