I can't answer your post, but I did want to add to it. I am very much interested in the same capability. I am 'guessing' that this has to be done via SNMP. I had a perl script in place for version 4.5 to monitor BigIP metrics via SNMP and this worked fairly well (after spending quite a bit of time trying to get this to work). I'd like to do the same thing in version 9. However, it would really helpful if there were some examples of how to do this, along with how your requirement might be met (if SNMP is the way to do this).

 

 

I have been searching the internet for some tidbits of information that anyone might have posted about gathering metrics from Version 9. This requirement seems to be a very common one, and it would be really helpful to have a really good example.
