Monitoring Windows Services from BIG-IP

HI David, if those services can be monitored via wmi, then this has potential to be helpful. However, know that you will need to replace the wmic executable on the upgraded system, and if the centos kernel version changed, you'd likely need to recompile on a compatible system as well. Finally, the wmic executable would not be a supported configuration, so any F5 support around that setup would likely require reverting to a supported configuration. For some customers, advanced extended options are worth the tradeoffs, but that's a business decision. If you choose to pursue something like this, I'd make sure you have acceptable backout procedures so there is no delay in support services.
