Monitoring F5 Bigip

I've understood what I was doing wrong, in fact av_pool has to be translated
7.97.118.95.112.111.111.108
7 is the size of the string then we have each char starting with 'a' which
is 97:

# snmpget -m ALL -v1 -c public 192.168.21.2
.1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.2.5.1.2.1.8.7.97.118.95.112.111.111.108
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolActiveMemberCnt."av_pool" = INTEGER: 2

This works :)

Thanks to all.

I'm trying to code a module check_bigip_snmp. I manage to get results from
snmpwalk :

# snmpwalk -m ALL -v1 -c xxxxx 192.168.21.2
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolActiveMemberCnt
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolActiveMemberCnt."av_pool" = INTEGER: 2
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolActiveMemberCnt."lasthop" = INTEGER: 0
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolActiveMemberCnt."dns_pool" = INTEGER: 2
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolActiveMemberCnt."ftp_pool" = INTEGER: 2
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolActiveMemberCnt."dns2_pool" = INTEGER: 2
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolActiveMemberCnt."imap_pool" = INTEGER: 2
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolActiveMemberCnt."ldap_pool" = INTEGER: 2
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolActiveMemberCnt."mail_pool" = INTEGER: 2
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolActiveMemberCnt."pop3_pool" = INTEGER: 2
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolActiveMemberCnt."avftp_pool" = INTEGER: 2
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolActiveMemberCnt."avweb_pool" = INTEGER: 2
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolActiveMemberCnt."osi_rev_pool" = INTEGER: 2
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolActiveMemberCnt."osi_ldap_pool" = INTEGER: 2
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolActiveMemberCnt."web_pool_http" = INTEGER: 4
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolActiveMemberCnt."web_pool_https" = INTEGER: 0
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolActiveMemberCnt."diva_flash_pool" = INTEGER: 2
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolActiveMemberCnt."osi_radius_pool" = INTEGER: 2
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolActiveMemberCnt."webmonitor_pool" = INTEGER: 2
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolActiveMemberCnt."osi_radacct_pool" = INTEGER: 2

But I've a problem chen I try to get only one value with snmpget:
# snmpget -m ALL -v1 -c xxxxx 192.168.21.2
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolActiveMemberCnt."av_pool"
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolActiveMemberCnt.av_pool: Unknown Object
Identifier (Index out of range: av_pool (ltmPoolName))

Is there anything I'm doing wrong ?

Yes -- Doing it here with the combo of snmptt and Nagios.  Also
monitoring virtual servers via traditional methods (i.e., pointing the
check_http plugin at the external vip) in addition to checking the apps
on the real servers.  If something breaks, we often hear about it
several different ways. :)
