SNMP Monitor DCA Simple True/Green Red/false
I want to create a SNMP monitor that is basically just a true/false on the monitor check.
Following the article at
https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K14114
I created a SNMP DCA base
· i3IcGenSwitchoverRole = 1.3.6.1.4.1.2793.2.1.5.0
· i3IcGenSwitchoverRole_threshold =2
· i3IcGenSwitchoverRole_coefficient = 1
The threshold is based on the chart below:
Type Access Description
Integer read-only This object displays the switchover role for this CIC server:
1 = NotApplicable because the Server is not in a Primary/Backup configuration.
2 = Primary
3 = Backup
4 = Failed
What I really want is for server to be green only if the i3IcGenSwitchoverRole is 2. I don’t want a calculated value. A calculated is wrong because the “Backup” is a higher number and is considered by the F5 to be the preferred. If I can do an SNMP true/false on a single value then the application can control its own primary / backup configuration. Otherwise enabling and disabling of the servers has to be done manually.
