Using Cacti with V11.1 on LTM

Ok, this got even weirder, but I got the workaround - can hardly call this a solution.. The way I had to do it is like this:

 

1. change the SNMP version on v11 host to 1. This gets you the correct list of VS&pools. You delete the old pools&VS graphs and datasources and create the new /Common/whatever graphs

 

2. at this point you have the blank graphs but the values aren't coming in. When you check by hand, you get no reply from LTM but if you check them with v2c, you get them so..

 

3. change the SNMP version of the host back to 2 and the values will start coming in and the graphs will start showing as expected

 

 

I presume you'll have to switch back to v1 when adding new VS/pools and then back to v2c for values but at least there is a way.

 

I suspect there was some mockery with SNMP on the F5 devel when implementing v11. I thought it to be a cacti problem but the fact that you get no value when querying with v1 and you get it with v2c makes me think there is something wrong with v11 SNMP implementation.

 

 

I'll contact support to see if they can confirm or reject it, if they'll want to work on this problem..
