Hi folks,

we need to gather stats for multiple vips like total bandwidth and total number of HTTP requests for a month we need a ball park figure for that. How we can gather these if we are not using/provisoned AVR module.

You can go “old school” with SNMP 🙂

> **[Monitoring BIG-IP System Traffic with SNMP](https://techdocs.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/bigip-external-monitoring-implementations-12-1-2/12.html)**

Poll the appropriate OIDs with your favorite SNMP tools and write some code to aggregate what you need.

AVR / telemetry streaming is the way to do any real trending, both are free - license wise.

A quick solution although less robust is to use&nbsp; bigtop,&nbsp; &nbsp;it takes some playing with the switchs , but it might give you what you are looking for.

from CLI - from bash,

uptime&nbsp; &nbsp; \<---tell you how long the box has been up

bigtop -vname -nodes 0 -reqs&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;\<---should give you a starting point you can divide out days into requests…

you can clear stat counters on the VS - and it will give you a starting point and time use that on a daily check - or get crazy and write a cronjob to kick off XX times a day /week,&nbsp; &nbsp;with the -once command

Quick help =&nbsp; bigtop --help  
longer help = man bigtop
