Link controller Link Monitoring and Reporting

Hello,

 

I have a LC and i was wondering how to get the bandwidth utilization, ip addresses(external and internal),http sites.... on each link that LC uses and if there is a report tool.

 

 

I am new to LC and although i am struggeling with the configuration i was not able to locate a document to monitor/report the links that shows utilization, ip address, and staff

 

 

 

Thank you Regards,

 

George

    Which version of TMOS are you currently running on your F5-LC units???? if you are using version 10.x.x or later you may get alot in terms of report if you are still using the version earlier than this you will not have a very comprehensie reporting. Also what you will get in terms of reporting is the total utilization of the link. As your users dont directly go out so you will not get the reporting on per IP bases which you may be expecting out of it. If you still have a F5 support for this box I will prefer you drop them an e-mail and they will let you know what reporting you may receive out of all.

    Hi Jay,

     

    In the wildcard virtual server you can select advance and select in the options the analyticprofile for this virtual server and you will be able to have the details of the consumption of the bandwidth from each of the links.

    Hi,

     

     

    Thanks.....

     

    but the analytic profile is the option only for inbound traffic or basically for application report.

     

     

    how do i get the report on Link utilization for outbound traffic....

     

     

    Regards..

    Hi Jay,

     

     

    Did you get the report on Link utilization for outbound traffic? Because I need that information to load balance the outbound traffic between 2 links with dynamic ratio.

     

    Thank you in advanced.

     

     

    Regards,
