monitoring the F5 SNMP tables
Hi,
Not too confident that this is really in the spirit of this new forum, but it's certainly about monitoring and management with the F5...
Is anyone aware of any existing products, or simple approaches to take things like the LTM virtual services SNMP table as a whole and monitor it? we're struggling to generally piece together a logical monitoring architecture where I work, and as the LTM's are monitoring the bulk of our critical services anyway and have a number of nice and bespoke SNMP tables just sitting there listing availability of nodes, services and their respective throughputs and such, should i be able to hook into this lovely data from another dashboard or something? I appreciate this is sounding vague, but i'd love to be able to directly leverage the existing monitoring that's going on rather than have to replicate it all just so other departments can see traffic lights...
(Is it just me or do *ALL* monitoring systems suck big time when you get down to the fiddly stuff?)
Thanks
Chris
