Monitoring TPS from Proxies

Hello again.     We currently have a TPS level of 500 on our BIGIPs v4.5.9     I'm writing an iControl script to get some statistical infomation from the Active Proxies.   ...

Currently we do not expose the TPS directly through iControl as it is a value measured as a rate and the statistics reported through iControl are snapshots in time.

 

 

For licensing purposes, TPS, is defined as full SSL handshakes per second. This does not equate to the sum of all SSL proxy total connections over time because not only does the total connections include full handshakes, but also connections employing resumed connections.

 

 

With that being said, currently the best option for SSL TPS measurements would be to sample the total connection counts across all SSL proxies ( (t2-t1)/timespan ). This would be a pessimistic estimate, but the closest that is currently exposed.

 

 

Let us know how this goes for you. A script that monitors TPS would be a great addition to
