F5 Big-IP: Load Balancing Pools
| Distribution: | official part of Check_MK |
| License: | GPL |
| Supported Agents: | SNMP |
The check queries the MIB tables of F5 BIG-IP loadbalancers (local traffic
managers) for the status of any load balancing pools. It gathers the number
of loadbalancers backing the pool and how many of those are working. It
doesn't currently honor the 'MinUpMembers' parameter that can be set to
trigger actions for the pool if too many members fail.
It supports devices running the 9.0 and above releases of the F5 OS. It's
tested against 9.3 devices.
If there are down or disabled nodes, the names of the nodes are
also printed in the service output. They are identified using the
following oids: ltmPoolMemberMonitorState, ltmPoolMemberMonitorStatus,
ltmPoolMemberSessionStatus
Discovery
The check collects a list of the pools defined on a system. It will include
non-enabled ones, as this is considered a temporary state.
