Any examples of collecting F5 performance data via SNMP

I'm trying to collect performance data for our F5 device via SNMP (CPU,mem,network,etc.). I think I'm good on everything but CPU. I used the method outlined in the Big-IP Network and System Management Guide, but that doesn't seem accurate.

 

 

Anyone know of a good way to collect CPU data? This is more for capacity planning than active monitoring.

 

 

Thanks in advance

    Not sure about SNMP, but you can get the cpu usage information from the iControl System.SystemInfo.get_cpu_usage_information() method.

    I just upgraded to SOAP::Lite 0.66 and it turns out the SOAP::Lite folks have deprecated the "uri" subroutine (which was in the past the way to specify which namespace to use with the soap calls).

    Here's some info on the change:

    http://www.soaplite.com/2005/04/tturitt_and_ttu.html

    Click here

    If you don't like the noise from the deprecation error message, you can fix it by changing the "uri" subroutine to "ns".

    Old:

    $soap = SOAP::Lite
-> uri('urn:iControl:System/SystemInfo')
-> proxy("$sProtocol://$sHost:$sPort/iControl/iControlPortal.cgi");

    New:

    $soap = SOAP::Lite
-> ns('urn:iControl:System/SystemInfo')
-> proxy("$sProtocol://$sHost:$sPort/iControl/iControlPortal.cgi");

    Thing is, I'm not sure how I'm going to chnge the scripts in the SDK to account for older versions of SOAP::Lite. I'll have to think about that one...

    Thanks for the heads up!!!
