Capturing load balancer traffic flows is not something that is elegantly (or even rudimentarily) handled by most commercial applications, or at least the ones I've worked with.  Several can't even...

I've got an issue where certain OID's are returning 0. Specifically "F5 BigIP - Global HTTP Requests", "F5 BigIP - Global HTTP Response Errors", and "F5 BigIP - Global HTTP Responses". If I manually snmpget those OID's I can validate the "0" response:

 

 

[root@nms102 tmp] snmpget -v 2c -c blah 10.70.1.57 .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.1.2.4.7.0

 

SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.3375.2.1.1.2.4.7.0 = Counter64: 0

 

[root@nms102 tmp] snmpget -v 2c -c blah 10.70.1.57 .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.1.2.4.5.0

 

SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.3375.2.1.1.2.4.5.0 = Counter64: 0

 

[root@nms102 tmp] snmpget -v 2c -c blah 10.70.1.57 .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.1.2.4.6.0

 

SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.3375.2.1.1.2.4.6.0 = Counter64: 0

 

 

Though there's plenty of traffic being handled. Any suggestions?
