Not Initialized error.

Ok, got it. The test client defaulted the port to 8080. Ours was running on a different port.

I am getting the same "Not Initialized" error. I have the login credentials for BigIp's web console. I am using the same uname/pwd for initializing iControl but it fails to connect. Any help on debugging what's wrong....

I'm seeing the same error. I have F5's that are running using a self-signed cert so the connection would be to an SSL. I guess that's the root issue, but i'm not seeing where i have any control to specify anything except the port.

 

 

Any insight from anyone successfully using this control to connect to an SSL'ed F5 would be appreciated.

Ok, bagged myself. Am able to get data, i was getting an error telling me that the application couldn't step into the "server" and that the F5 device might not exist or might be behind a FW... however it does exist, it was not behind a FW, and despite the error message on the debug step-through i was indeed getting data.

 

 

for my next step though i'm looking for connection info on a LB Pool members and while i can find the spot where it should be... the values for iControl.CommonStatisticType.STATISTIC_SERVER_SIDE_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS are all zero's for each member of the pool.

I ran into this a few times, though mine was a stupid mistake. I was querying the standby unit by accident. Are all of your stats showing as zero?

oh yes, i did the same.. just never came back to finish out my post. That was indeed what i was doing, I was going to the xxx01 node, but it had been failed over to the xxx02 node and i didn't know it.

 

 

Thanks for the reply though. This control has been great, i've setup a windows service that pulls the counters and LTMs that i want data from off of a SQL DB then connects and pulls the targeted info from the targeted LTMs on a regular basis putting the data back into a set of tables on SQL that also house similar types of system data from several hundred app servers. I'm finally able to cross correlate this info from one central DB.
