F5 loadbalancer monitoring

[mazwarsandeep]

Hi guys,

I would like to monitor below on F5 load balancer  (Sys oid is : 1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.3.4.48           ) :

 

1. Application pool or VIP  active/inactive status

2. No of connection current and Maximum received at application port end

3. Calls progress status for each application port

4. Port utilization monitoring

 

Has any one configured similar monitoring ? any suggestions on feasibility ?

 

Thanks!

Sandy

Hi Sandeep

 

Which version of Spectrum are you running?  1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.3.4.48 - the C2400 - was added in 10.0.  Check out http://ehealth-spectrum.ca.com/devices/private/spectrum_devices_supported.xls

Hi Scott,

 

Yes we are running on CA Spectrum 10.0. I am trying to find the traps details to cover below monitoring but no luck

 

1. Application pool or VIP  active/inactive status

2. No of connection current and Maximum received at application port end

3. Calls progress status for each application port

4. Port utilization monitoring

 

Any directions for me ?

 

 

Thanks !

The only trap MIB I found was the F5-BIGIP-COMMON-MIB; if there are other MIBs containing traps, you will need to import them using Mib Tools.  Spectrum maps the F5 MIBs in the Spectrum/SS/CsVendor/ctron_cse33/AlertMap and Spectrum/SS/CsVendor/ctron_cse33/EventDisp.  Here's an excerpt from the AlertMap:

 

# bigipGtmPoolAvail                                                      # bigipNotifyObjMsg

1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.40                                0x03b70030      1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.1.1(1,0)

 

# bigipGtmPoolNotAvail                                                   # bigipNotifyObjMsg

1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.41                                0x03b70031      1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.1.1(1,0)

 

Only a handful of mapped events are configured to generate alarms.  These are generally high level load balancer traps and environmental traps.  You can configure the other events to generate alarms.  Take a look at the Event Configuration - CA Spectrum - 10.1 and 10.1.1 - CA Technologies Documentation  section of the docs.
