NimbostratusHi All,
im new in F5, please tell me how to monitor day to day, health check and housekeeping in F5. and if anybody have a sampe documentation for daily,weekly,monthly report for F5?
and one more question, why in solarwind monitor, my f5 always show 100%. but i check in the device is not 100%, is far below 100%
thank you
EmployeeThis guide on ask.f5.com would be a good start: TMOS Operations Guide.
As for SolarWinds it looks like it may be using the wrong OID values. The F5 tends to take all resources into ready to use state so that most SNMP monitors tend to look like what you are seeing. I believe there are other OID to use that would give you what TMOS is actually using of the resources it has reserved.

Unfortunately I do not know Solarwinds so I can't speak to the way it is using the SNMP OID values. This article on ask.f5.com shows what the OID values should be. https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/bigip_nsm_guide_943/nsm_snmp.html1042852 If you know where to find the SNMP OID's in Solarwinds then you should be good to go.
If not hopefully someone on DC will know how to point you in the correct direction.
MVPas David says and you probably have seen yourself on the BIG-IP GUI, the BIG-IP reports on different sections (for lack of a better word) of memory. some of these are at 100% or just below. that isn't an issue or a bad thing. but if your reporting tool doesn't understand that it might look odd.
you could just ignore this in your tool.
