monitoring F5 BigIP

[Eli Stair]

Just a suggestion, you might want to try polling that info with Cacti 
and then get the service states from the cacti rrd's in Nagios.  I 
assume that info is manifested in the F5 Enterprise MIB, and probably 
well-documented.  Search around and you'll find the check_rrd_* scripts 
for pulling that data.

I find this handy for using tools more efficient/suited to the task of 
polling/trending large amounts of data (Ganglia/Cacti) and using Nagios 
to alert on it.
