SNMP Issue

Hi,

 

 

I've been trying to graph SNMP data from our BigIP units running version 'BIG-IP 9.1.1 Build 54.6'. Some of data I am trying to are:

 

 

sysStatClientPktsIn

 

sysStatClientBytesIn

 

sysStatClientPktsOut

 

sysStatClientBytesOut

 

sysStatClientMaxConns

 

sysStatClientTotConns

 

sysStatClientCurConns

 

sysStatServerPktsIn

 

sysStatServerBytesIn

 

sysStatServerPktsOut

 

sysStatServerBytesOut

 

sysStatServerMaxConns

 

sysStatServerTotConns

 

sysStatServerCurConn

 

 

However, when I do an snmpwalk against the BigIP no results are returned for these. Ideally, I'd like to graph the same performance stats as available in the GUI performance tool but do it over a longer time frame. In particular, I'm looking for the active connections, new connections and throughput. I'd like to get those globally and on a per virtual server basis as well.

 

 

Thanks for you help

    When you say "no results are returned", do you mean that you don't see anything returned, or the counter values are all reported as 0?

    In any case, here is the scoop on calculating some of the system-wide stats:

    Collecting data on active connections (Click here)

    Collecting data on new connections (Click here)

    Collecting data on throughput (Click here)

    To get the stats per virtual server, you'll have to dig into this branch to find the OIDs for each VS you're interested in:

      .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.2.10.2
  .iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.f5.bigipTrafficMgmt.bigipLocalTM.ltmVirtualServers.ltmVirtualServStat
  F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmVirtualServStat

    These docs might be helpful in finding the data you want:
