Dashboard and logs show different bandwidth utilization?
I can't figure this one out, so I figure I'd ask the experts!
I've found multiple times that the performance view or the dashboard on the F5 don't correlate to local traffic logs about bandwidth. I've seen this multiple times, but here is an example from yesterday with my 200Mbps LTM.
The dashboard showed this (grabbed historic from performance statistics).
At the same time, I was getting flooded with messages like this from my system local traffic log.
Tue Jun 27 08:05:06 PDT 2017 notice PERF-F5 tmm[11064] 01010045 Bandwidth utilization is 244 Mbps, exceeded 75% of Licensed 200 Mbps
I've looked at it multiple times and it just doesn't add up. I've had this issue in multiple environments. Can someone explain to me where I can actually see the bandwidth I'm using if it's not being represented in the dashboard?
Thanks!
