Those files are TMM's idea of resource usage. Remember that TMM is a user space microkernel so it has its own scheduler and memory management. So its idea about "free memory" and "cpu use" is different than the linux kernel's. To read what its statistics are, you can use:
tmctl -a -f <tmstat table file>This solution article has more information about it:

These files are a binary-only format and the column alignments sometimes change by version so make sure to use matching version tmstat table files and tmctl binary.

MVPasotoaec I believe you can gather the data you are looking for from the performance stats export on the F5. You would go to "Statistics" -> "Dashboard" then in the top right click on "ACTIONS" dropdown and finally click on "Download Data (CSV)". From here you can select timeframe, metrics, data, and then click download.
