Monitoring Big-IP using SCOM 2012
In an effort to bring F5 devices under SCOM 2012 infrastructure, we installed the f5 managemnent pack in our SCOM server. While trying to discover the F5 BIG-IP device, the below error occurs. I tried with admin & root credentials with Management & self IP but still the issue persists. Any help to resolve this issue will be highly appreciated?

Hello, I read the "how-to" override the alert messages (linked below) but I'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to utilize "$target" alert attributes. High-level, I need to find out how to create an alert like the example below. I thought I should be able to do this by implementing new aggregate/roll-up monitors but I'm struggling with how to get it to work. Desired Alert = Pool member [poolmember_name] using port [port] which is a member of the pool: [pool_name] has been marked down for the following reason [Availability_reason] http://devcentral.f5.co...-pack.aspx Thanks, Mike236Views0likes5CommentsBig IP authentication on Cisco ACS

So I went to install the latest (downloaded today) Monitoring Pack on our main SCOM server and it failed. The end of the setup log shows an MSI exit code of 1603, but scrolling through the log I see it failed during the database section. The root case was an access denied to an xml file in my user temp folder: C:\Users\stuartd\AppData\Local\Temp\F5 Networks\Management Pack\20140404_135942\ManagementPackDatabaseDefinition.xml. I had specified a new domain service account for the management pack to use, and at the SQL step of filling out the setup GUI leaving it set to Windows login was the only option. So how do I do this successfully?277Views0likes1CommentInstall fails with MSI 1603 error on SCOM 2012 SP1
