Monitoring TPS on Virtual Server via SNMP

Hello,

 

I'm looking to possibly implement rate limiting on my virtual servers. I have several scripts that monitor TPS (transactions per second) to the lb itself. But I've had trouble finding the correct snmp calls to make for information about individual virtual servers. If we implement this we'd like to monitor the rate the f5 sees to make sure that we aren't artificially denying legitimate users.

 

Can someone point me in the right direction of which MIB is needed to monitor tps on the virtual server level?

 

Thanks, mjr

    Looks like the following two snmp checks would do the trick since I want to implement the rate limit on the virtual server side.

     

    ltmVirtualServStatCurrentConnsPerSec ltmVirtualServStatDurationRateExceeded

     

    However, Current Conns Per Sec shows 0 on my lbs, when certainly I have plenty of traffic flowing through. Do I need to enable something for that to show a non-zero value? Or would it actually start to show data once I implement a rate limit?
