F5 Sync + Orion

i would say you need to take a closer look at the OID that it's using.

 

 

I usually use OID for uptime SNMP tell me if the LTM rebooted and then there is another IOD that tells me if it failed over. The combination of the 2 overall tell me what happened.

 

 

Unfortunately, I don't monitor the sync status, because the indicator has not always been reliable (I.E. I run a script to archive the LTM and it states I have to sync when I never made changes). Our standard practice is that we sync before and after we make changes so it has never been issue for me to monitor.

 

 

Hope this helps,

Can you post the OID's you are using?

System Uptime (Using RAW OID)

 

OID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.6.6

 

Index: 0

 

 

Primary/Standby (Using F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB)

 

iso/org/dod/internet/private/enterprises/f5/bigipTrafficMgmt/bigipSystem/sysGlobals/sysGlobalAttrs/sysGlobalAttr/sysAttrFailoverUnitMask

 

Starting OID:1

 

If the counter equals 3 then it's primary

 

If the counter equals 0 then it's Standby

 

 

Hope this helps

Any idea why when we sync both the F5 the other F5 monitored shows it has rebooted

Can you please tell me the OID for the config sync in F5?

I don't have that. As I mentioned above I never monitored the Config Syc directly.

sysAttrConfigsyncState OBJECT-TYPE

 

SYNTAX LongDisplayString

3 - Config modified on both systems, manual intervention required"

Can you let me know the reboot OID?

Thanks for this OID!!

Hi,

 

 

If i click on sync in F5 i get an alert from Orion stating that the F5 rebooted but it is not rebooted

 

 

Is there any way i could get the exact information and no false alerts?
