If the F5 data sources and workflows are loading correctly inside the SCOM Health Service, the only other reason why you would get the error is that the account running the F5 Monitoring Service doesn't have enough permissions to interact with the SCOM Health Service. The F5 Monitoring Service needs to write statistics and health data to the SCOM Health Service. I would try to [temporarily] assign the SCOM SDK service account to the F5 Monitoring Service, if that's possible for the customer, just to try and see if the errors are gone. Definitely the F5 Monitoring Service account should be in the Operations Manager administrators group.

 

 

Let me know.
