monitoring F5

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

Hi,

>> What do you feel is important to monitor on the F5?

For BigIp F5 load balancers I use the controls you can see in the attached
images. Bandwidth and Mempool are collected through a couple of plugins I
wrote and graphed by a couple of custom template.

I do not think it's worth to check disks, since it's assumed they do not
grow remarkably. And if they break...well...host down :-)
