Performance Stats - Where to start??

Where does one start with trying to pull performance stats from the Big-IP v.9.3.1     I'm new to using iControls.   Would also like to get into monitoring Big-IP health.    ...

iControl

I have built cacti from ground up several times on linux and windows, but having just gone through the CactiEZ install...that's definitely the way to go. You get ntop and nagios to boot as well! Download the .iso, burn a disk, install to an available machine, you're up and running from start to finish in an hour or less. You can get CactiEZ here: Click here

 

 

BTW, Cacti works very well with SNMP and has the most documentation surrounding that method, but you could easily also use scripted queries via PHP/Perl/etc utilizing iControl. It's a lot less intuitive with this approach (for me anyway), but it can be done.
