    "Status:blinking orange" Most likely means the device is a standby unit. Therefore, whatever problem you may have is probably not impacting production.

     

    "Alert:red" means there is an "emergency". All your emergencies are defined in /etc/alertd/alert.conf

     

    • Log in to the F5 box via SSH, chances are the critical emergency (reason of red alert LED) will be reported right as you log in. If not, have a look at /var/log/ltm files (grep for "emerg").

    "Power 1:green" You know the PSU1 is working fine and the emergency has nothing to do with PSU1.

     

    Good luck!
