Discovery/Monitoring Issue

**Update**

 

 

The status of the our MP is as follows. We have somehow resolved the installation issues for 715 (Not sure how) and now we are again seeing the same discovery issues we saw in version 579. This is the current status:

 

- Both F5 devices are showing in the console as Healthy

 

- In Health Explorer only 1 monitor is showing a healthy state, the "Control Device Connection" monitor. All other monitors don't have a state and don't seem to be working.

 

- We aren't getting any alerts as I don't think monitoring is fully working.

 

- We can't seem to see any performance data/counters being collected when we launch the performance view in the console.

 

-We are consistenly seeing event 301 on the Mgmt server monitoring these devices. See below for the full error. The error states the it failed to discover the two devices. There is obviously something still wrong. One thing we noticed is that when you telnet to the devices on ports 443 and 4353 the connection is eventually closed after 5-10 min. We don't know if this is significant or not and the F5 admins don't know why this is happening.

 

 

Additional questions are:

 

1. Is what we are seeing in Health Explorer by design and we just have to start enabling things, or are we in fact having issues?

 

2. How are you supposed to view the Performance counters collected by the MP? Is it intended that you right click the device in the state view and open a performance view?

 

3. There is no Alerts view with the MP, is it intended that the Alert be viewed from the state or diagram views?
