Can any one provide f5 bigip OID information for device monitoring

Hello Friends,

 

I have tried downloading mibs from the deivce to do device monitoring SNMP based. However it is seen hard to get all the statistics using MIBS.

 

How can i get tmm memory to monitor ? how can i get all the VIP currenct connections ? is it possible to print any value of the device using OID ?

    The trick is not downloading the MIBs, but loading them onto your SNMP client.

    For example, for most NET-SNMP clients on a Linux machine, the MIBs need to be in ~/.snmp/mibs/ folder (or the folder specified by 

    net-snmp-config --default-mibdirs
    ) and specified in the ~/.snmp/snmp.conf file. This will turn your output from:

    SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.3375.2.1.8.2.3.1.32.3.48.46.48 = Counter64: 1234567890

    to:

    F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB::sysTmmStatMemoryUsed."0.0" = Counter64: 1234567890

    P.S. Use OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.8.2.3.1.32 for memory, and .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.2.10.2.3.1.12 for VS Current Connections (run both as tables or getnexts).
