F5 BIG-IP Multi-Site Dashboard v1.7

A comprehensive real-time monitoring dashboard for F5 BIG-IP Application Delivery Controllers featuring multi-site support, DNS hostname resolution, member state tracking, and advanced filtering capabilities.

 

A 170KB modular JavaScript application runs entirely in your browser, served directly from the F5's high-speed operational dataplane. One or more sites operate as Dashboard Front-Ends serving the dashboard interface (HTML, JavaScript, CSS) via iFiles, while other sites operate as API Hosts providing pool data through optimized JSON-based dashboard API calls. This provides unified visibility across multiple sites from a single interface without requiring even a read-only account on any of the BIG-IPs, allowing you to switch between locations and see consistent pool, member, and health status data with almost no latency and very little overhead.

 

Think of it as an extension of the F5 GUI: near real-time state tracking, DNS hostname resolution (if configured), advanced search/filtering, and the ability to see exactly what changed and when. It gives application teams and operations teams direct visibility into application pool state without needing to wait for answers from F5 engineers, eliminating the organizational bottleneck that slows down troubleshooting when every minute counts.
