I suppose what you would want to check is the following

 

 

CPU

 

MEMORY

 

DISKSPACE

 

Processess

 

bigd

 

mcp

 

named etc

 

 

These are the elements to check for the overall health of the BIGIP.

 

 

You will not find SNMP OID for process - at least I couldn't find it so hopefully your monitor can do more then simply SNMP checking.

 

 

I hope that helps
