F5 Analytics 3.7.x - Questions and Problems

Hello Community,

I stumbeld upon the F5 Analytics iApp and so I wanted to give it a try.

My environmental requirement:

• Splunk Version 6.5
• Communication from BigIP to Splunk HTTP Event Collector is working (telnet to Splunk port 8088)
• Syslog/Analytics data MUST use Management interface of BigIP
• no HSL

1st try:

• iApp Version 3.7.1 (and also 3.7.2rc4)* BIG-IP v12.1.2 (Build 2.0.276) and BIG-IP v13.1.1.2 (Build 0.0.4)

• Result: failed* Error in /var/log/ltm:

  Script (/Common/F5-Analytics-send_stats) generated this Tcl error: (script did not successfully complete: (01020036:3: The requested RADIUS Server (/Common/F5-Analytics.app) was not found.     while executing "tmsh::get_config auth radius-server /Common/$appname.app/$radius_ihealth"     invoked from within "lindex [tmsh::get_config auth radius-server /Common/$appname.app/$radius_ihealth] 0"     invoked from within "set obj [lindex [tmsh::get_config auth radius-server /Common/$appname.app/$radius_ihealth] 0]" line:41))

2nd try:

• iApp Version 3.7.0
• BIG-IP v12.1.2 (Build 2.0.276)
• Result: not quite sure

• Some Error in /var/log/ltm:

  Stats Response for F5-Analytics 1542956978 0 fail

  Data publisher not found or not implemented when processing request (unknown request), tag (2901).

Thus I seem to get Data but I don't know if this is correct.

• Health values on "Start" Dashboard are always 0
• Device Health 0 as well, or even NaN,
• Most field just have no data
• SSL Dashboard: no data

Question I still have

• Do I have to configure Analytic Profiles on the BigIP itself to get more data?
• when you can use only the Mgmt-Port, what are the best settings in the iApp?
• Can i user "Module High Speed Logging Streams -> yes" when I can only use the Mgmt-Port?
• Is there a guide, that shows how to setup the BigIP itself (i.e. analytic profiles on VS) to get the most out of the app? I followed the "Deploying the F5 Analytics iApp Template" but the result is not overwhelming
• Is there an explanation for the meaning of all the diagramms and stuff you get? Example: What does "Server Latency Health 100,0%" mean?

I'm grateful for any hint, tip, advice from you guys.

Cheers Ichnafi
