Hi Aaron,

 

 

My Datacentre operators report twice daily on the state of led's on our equipment. Often they do not note the LCD messages on our BigIP's.

 

 

I was wondering if it was possible to find out what event triggered the led state from an SSH session rather than emailing the Datacentre, waiting for an Operator to get to the BigIP and relay the LCD message. Note, the operators know nothing about how to navigate the LCD, and there are many operators, so its likely you get a different one each time (plus the attrition rate is high).

 

 

If it's easier to get the message myself, I'd rather that than face the prospect of trying to train all the operators.
