discovery problem!!!

Hi Fabrizio,

 

 

The new logs are showing no relevant errors about the F5 Management Pack. I'm not sure if the snapshot of the logs has been taken before or after you attempted to discover the F5 device(s). The setup.log shows that the F5 Data Source and Condition Detection modules have been successfully loaded. This was my main concern about your deployment, judging from your earlier logs that you sent us, which were showing that the F5 data sources are not loading.

 

 

So, I'm not sure exactly what kind of errors are you getting now, while trying to discover F5 device(s).

 

 

Looking at the setup.log file, it shows that you have deployed the F5 Management Pack on the SCOM RMS. By default, the F5 MP setup will disable the F5 Monitoring Service on the RMS. Is this condition true in your environment? According to Microsoft's best practices in a distributed SCOM management server environment, monitoring on the RMS should be avoided when possible. This is why the F5 Monitoring Service should be disabled. So, if you try to discover from the RMS when the F5 Monitoring Service is disabled, you will be getting an error about not being able to connect to the monitoring service. Is this the error that you are seeing?

 

 

It looks like you have multiple management servers in your SCOM environment. I would encourage you to deploy the F5 Management Pack on at least one of those management servers and perform the F5 device monitoring from there (and leave the F5 Monitoring Service disabled on the RMS). Please check out the following article on how to deploy the F5 Management Pack:

If you are seeing any errors in the F5 Monitoring Log, on the management server where you have the F5 Monitoring Service enabled, and those errors are pointing to the F5 data sources and condition detection module not loading let us know. For this particular error you can check out the following post on this forum, on a similar behavior, and see if any of the suggestions mentioned there would help you:
