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%?

i even try to put the sleep 0.1 or up to 1 second within the for loop, but i don't see the CPU utilization going down at all. "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".
