Monitoring memory with SNMP for BIG-F5 load balancer
I'm looking to monitor the total memory of a BIG F5 load balancer. The CLI gives this
` my.name@(my-f5)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Standby)(/Common)(tmos) show sys memory kil
(kil)
Sys::Host Memory (bytes)
TMM: 0
Total 6074368.0
Used 471852.0
Free 5602515.9
Other: 0
Total 2123164.0
Used 1557676.0
Free 565488.0
Total: 0
Total 8197532.0
Used 2029528.0

When I do an SNMP walk I get the following
` my.name@my.box:~$ snmpwalk -v 2c -c public my-f5 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memIndex.0 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memErrorName.0 = STRING: swap
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memTotalSwap.0 = INTEGER: 1048572 kB
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memAvailSwap.0 = INTEGER: 894292 kB
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memTotalReal.0 = INTEGER: 8197532 kB
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memAvailReal.0 = INTEGER: 212436 kB
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memTotalFree.0 = INTEGER: 1106728 kB
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memMinimumSwap.0 = INTEGER: 16000 kB
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memShared.0 = INTEGER: 75588 kB
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memBuffer.0 = INTEGER: 20284 kB
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memCached.0 = INTEGER: 333240 kB
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memSwapError.0 = INTEGER: noError(0)
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memSwapErrorMsg.0 = STRING:

I can see memTotalReal corresponds to Total/Total. But I can't figure out how the other values are arrived at. Can anyone assist?
