Viewing individual Pool Members in Solarwinds

Hi

 

 

I was wondering if anyone knows, how to monitor the status on a individual pool member through Solarwinds?

 

 

I have a OID of 1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.2.5.6.2.1.5, which shows the status of all pool members, of all the pools.

 

 

What i would like to get is a status update on a individual pool, and show which pool member is down.

 

 

Currently i get a report, UP,UP,UP,UP,UP,UP,UP,UP, but doesn't show which pool it is, until i get to the LTM

 

 

Cheers in advance for any help

  • I am also having this same issue. I am looking for the members of each pool with their status. I am using the same OID. I am using the IP address of the members of the labels. The result of the label is this.

    I talked to Solarwinds and they're telling me that the UDP (Universal Device Poller) gives me back exactly what is being returned from the F5's. Is there anything I can do to give me the IP addresses? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The OID, 1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.2.5.6.2.1.5, translates to the F5 MIB, F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolMbrStatusAvailState. This is a table of pool members. In order to look at individual pool members, you need to convert the ASCII name of the pool member to ASCII equivalents. If you have localhost enabled on the F5 device, you can perform an snmpwalk on the MIB to find the ASCII equivalent and the OID. Here is an example:

     

     

    snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 127.0.0.1 ltmPoolMbrStatusAvailState

     

     

    F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolMbrStatusAvailState."smbtest".ipv4."10.0.0.150".23 = INTEGER: green(1)

     

     

    By using the -On ( that is Capitol-o ) switch on snmpwalk, you can see the OID numbers:

     

     

    snmpwalk -On -v 2c -c public 127.0.0.1 ltmPoolMbrStatusAvailState

     

     

    .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.2.5.6.2.1.5.7.115.109.98.116.101.115.116.1.4.10.0.0.150.23 = INTEGER: green(1)

     

     

  • I've done a Wireshark capture and I found that the values being returned are the same of what my monitoring engine is seeing. I understand what you're saying, but for some reason the data in the ltmPoolMbrStatusAddr column isn't coming back properly from the BigIP LTM's.
