AltocumulusHello
Hope this question makes sense. In the organisation I work for we have a lot of netscalers and people place a lot of value in the time to first byte metric. I've been reading icontrol documentation and poking around the api but cant seem to find an equivalent metric on the F5 big IP LTM I'm using.
Might an equivalent metric exist on the BIG IP? And if so, what's it named and where is it?
Many thanks,
Rob
CirrostratusI think AVR probably has the information you need (called 'server latency') but I'm not 100% sure how you might get at it via iControl (assuming you can use it), possibly using Common::ProfileStatisticsByVirtual?
Just FYI, using OneConnect and SPDY will give you the best possible ttfb.
AltocumulusThanks for the information but I'm not sure that's going to work for me. I don't think we have the AVR module installed.
Also I'm only running version 10.2.4 and this page https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iControl.Common__ProfileStatisticsByVirtual.ashx says Common::ProfileStatisticsByVirtual was introduced in BIG-IP_v11.4.0 so I suspect I don't have it.
If there are any other suggestions out there I would really appreciate hearing them!
Many thanks,
Rob
