LTM Topology

I have few LTMs located global, one of the biggest challenges supporting our clients is locating where a virtual is and what services or application uses it! It's a pain having to logon to each LTM appliance and lookup the virtual server IP. Is there a solution available that will create a toplogy showing the location of a VIP including a description/etc? I have had a look the F5 enterprise manager.

    Enterprise Manager would certainly do the trick, you could perform a search on the EM for the IP with ease.

     

     

    A cheap alternative would be to use a simple program (there's loads out there) to pull the configuration from each every day and place the files in a single folder. You can then do a search for the IP on the contents of the folder (using grep in Linux, Windows Explorer search whatever) and do it that way. Easy.

     

     

    Neither will give you a fancy map mind, but I'm sure that's possible too using iControl, if you have any spare developers hanging around!
