Nimbostratushow to pass the value from the F5 GUI external monitor variable to the external monitor script?
i get the error when adding the /usr/bin/monitors/ldapmonitor-1030237100-dsaID-variable to the f5 external monitor, it gives error: 01020066:3: The requested monitor parameter (ldapmonitor-103023710...

Nimbostratusyes, i was trying to pass a range of values. dsaID= 1, 2, 3 .... Since the F5 external monitor variable field not seem to take range of variable, i just implement that in a for loop within the external program.
Now i run into issue with F5's CPU% jump by 20%. prior to implementing this for loop, the cpu is steady at below 20%. after implementing the for loop, CPU jump steady to 40%. why would (16) simple for loops caused a spike in the CPU by 20%? reason for the 16 for loops is that we monitor 16 nodes. for each node, the for loop search 36 times starting with dsaID=1 to dsaID=36. i thought that would put a small load to the ldap database, but i don't know why the F5's CPU jump by 20%?

"TOP" is only showing those monitors using like 1 to 4% of the CPU, not sure why that 20% jump in CPU activity and TOP show most of CPU utilization are by the "TMM".

Are you certain it's the for loop and not the ldap calls? Have you commented out the ldap calls in the script to see if CPU usage goes down?
