Trying to build a BIG IQ v 8.3 on Hyper V but I keep running into an issue where I can licence the box using a trial licence (all appears to be working as expected) create the Master Keys and reset the Password but as soon as I get to the System Personality the option for BIG-IQ Central Management is not available. It only presents me the option of BIG-IQ Data Collection Device. If skip the licence at Step 1 then I also get the option to create a License Manager but that's not really very useful either. 🤨 The guide I am following is the F5 one - BIG IQ Build Guide - and have assigned the VM 32GB RAM and 8 cores after initially trying it with half the above figures which I thought might be the issue but still no joy. Have deleted the VM and recreated using a new copy of the VHD file - same problem seen so I am at a bit of a loss as to what to try next. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.74Views0likes4CommentsBig-iq 8.2 questions
Hello, I am tasked with implementing big-iq 8.2, but the documentation isn't clear about some things. I would like to consolidate the management of a number of different f5 load balancer sets. But there are some constraints, and I lack the big-iq terminology to know what I am looking for. So I will give an example. I have f5 pairs in Colorado, Virginia, Utah, and Oregon. - Colorado and Virginia are failover sites for each other. - Utah, and Oregon are also failover sites for each other. But the Colorado/Virginia sites and Utah/Oregon sites are significantly different. Separating them out in silos seems wrong. how do I keep these managed centrally? Do I create big-ip clusters, or device groups? One for Colorado and Virginia, and the other for Utah, and Oregon? I am just confused, and don't know where to start: I have been digging into the documentation but I think i need to be reset on some of the basics. --jason32Views0likes2CommentsBIG-IQ DNS TPS Per Geo Location
Hi, I recently deployed a BIG-IQ, to manage all my F5 LTM and DNS Tenants, I'm reviewing the information shown on the different dashboards of BIG-IQ. On the DNS Dashboard, there is a section named TPS Per Geo Location. For some reason i'm just seeing the world map, but with no data. Does anyone knows how to enable information on this map? regards,19Views0likes0CommentsNeed 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.12Views0likes0CommentsBIG-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?23Views0likes0CommentsEnterprise 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.1KViews0likes10CommentsCan 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.340Views0likes1CommentEmail Notification of Certificate Expiration
