Need help in automating BigIQ session summary reports
I have been asked to work out a way of automating the CSV report from BigIQ Monitoring Access Dashboard. Under Access > Sessions > Session Summary I have been filtering Network_Access as the AP result and then manually exporting the CSV there. Our security who does not have a Splunk server is asking for this every 24 hours. Therefore I am looking to see if there is a way I can have a scheduled job run for this. Only things I am finding are configuration automation or automation dealing with ASM. Any help would be greatly appreciated.BIG-IQ Archive Error
Hello, We currently have a BIG-IQ that was successfully performing backups to the backup server until the server guys implemented some stricter SSH timeouts. From what I gather, the archive is failing because the BIG-IQ seems to open up the SCP connection before the backup finishes. Once the backup has finished it then proceeds to pass the username but the SSH session has timed out by that time. Does anyone know of a way to change the order in which the BIG-IQ does the backup, so change it from SSH -> Backup -> SSH credentials -> copy file to Backup -> SSH -> SSH credentials -> copy file to Backup?
Enterprise Manager VS Big IQ
I used to be under the assumption that BigIQ was replacing Enterprise Manager, but I am not sure that is the case. What is the the real differences between the products because they seem to have overlapping feature sets and I am not sure why one customer would pick one appliance over the other. I see that there are different options (or maybe modules) for BigIQ, but I have no idea what its purpose is in relation the EM.
Can BIG-IQ forward ASM event log which receive from BIG-IP to syslog server?
Hi Right now we have all BIG-IP send ASM event log to BIG-IQ. Question is Can BIG-IQ forward ASM event log which receive from BIG-IP to syslog server? or I need to config on each BIG-IP to send ASM event log to both (BIG-IQ and syslog server) instead.
Email Notification of Certificate Expiration
Hi All, Hope you are doing well! Can you please help me in getting email notification for certificate expiry using BIG -IQ. I have enable the certificate expiration and gave threshold as 30 Days. But it is triggering email for those certificate as well who are having 200+ , 300+ , etc .. days left to expire. Can you please help me to fix this. Regards, ShashankSBIG-IQ re-import BIG-IP device configuration with deleted items
I'm wondering what's the default behavior of the BIG-IQ when re-import BIG-IP device configuration with deleted items on the BIG-IP. It seems that the previous imported configuration items still reside on the BIG-IQ, although they are deleted on the BIG-IP device. For your reference, the BIG-IQ is NOT our source-of-truth, means configuration changes will still be made directly on the BIG-IP devices. The referenced items will be displayed as not in use anymore on the BIG-IQ, but they are still there. How can I achieve that such items will also be deleted automatically on the BIG-IQ? During import process I also set "use BIG-IP device" for any configuration conflict types. But still no difference after re-import. Thank you! Regards Stefan 🙂
Big IQ Dashboard with no data
Hi , I am setting up BigIQ and DCD ( both on vm) in my organization. I have done initial configuration/licensing for both Big IQ central management and DCD . Below steps are already done. 1.All Big IP devices across organization have been discovered in BigIQ 2.DCD and Big IQ can contact all big IP devices on port 443. 3.In BigIQ , statistics collection is enabled for big IP devices. 4.Big IP devices are on 13.1 version and provisioned with AVR module. 5. Still, I am not able to view Dashboard graphs in Monitoring-> Device-> Health. Graph shows up with no data. Can any one help me if any steps are missing to get Dashboard graphs with dataSyncookie threshold 2999 exceeded
Folks, During peak window we have noticed following logs on our LTM Syncookie threshold 2999 exceeded, virtual = 74.201.103.192:443 Syncookie HW mode activated, server = 74.201.103.192:443, HSB modId = 2 I am reading this doc https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K14779?sr=56306627 Quote "The SYN cache threshold is governed by the pvasyncookies.virtual.maxsyncache database variable. It defines the maximum number of outstanding SYN a virtual server can hold per TMM before the SYN cookie protection mechanism is activated. The default value of this threshold is 1993 (For 11.3.0 - 11.6.1) and 2999 (For 12.0.0 and later)." We are running 12.0.0 so that is what i am seeing 2999 limit in logs, Default global setting is 16384 How do i increase threshold of pvasyncookies.virtual.maxsyncache ?BIG-IQ Automatic Configuration-Discovery and -Import
We are currently using the BIQ-IQ not as single source of truth, meaning all configurations will still be done directly on the BIG-IPs. The BIG-IQ will only be used for management and monitoring purposes. But to still have the latest configuration from all managed BIG-IPs on the BIG-IQ, I'm wondering if there is any possibility to perform the Configuration-Discovery and -Import task automatically, e.g. via a script or cronjob? Is there any documentation available for this? And what about potential import conflicts? Can I force the known options in this script? Thank you! Regards Stefan 🙂
