Discovery and monitoring of F5 BIG-IP

For the F5 BIG-IP load balancer, the Server Manager discovers the following:

• Virtual IPs

• Virtual servers

• Service

• Failover pairs

• Interfaces

• Ports

• Trunks

• VLANs

• MACs

• Processors

• Memories

• Filesystems

• Power supply

• Fan

• Temperature sensor

• LoadBalancerPool

• LoadBalancerPoolMembers

  The Server Manager monitors the following:

• Virtual IPs

• Virtual servers

• Availability of load balancer interfaces

• Utilization of load balancer interfaces

• Status of load balancer failover pairs

• Environmental factors, such as power supply status, CPU temperature, chassis

• Temperature and fan speed

• Available disc drive space and partitions on the Load Balancer

• Synchronization of configuration between IG-IP pairs

• LoadBalancerPool

• LoadBalancerPoolMembers

  The Server Manager generates notifications to the Global Manager when it detects failures, high utilization of CPUs, and other activity as measured against thresholds. It generates a notification when one element in a load balancer pair fails over, when the virtual servers are down or degraded, and when a virtual IP is found to be running on an inactive load balancer.
