If you could create the ideal dashboard for monitoring the health and performance of your F5 load balancers, what would it look like? What would it include?
Here's a few more questions to get the ideas flowing:
- What are the key pieces of information that tell you whether your F5s are healthy and performing well, regardless of what NPM can currently show you?
- The first time you added an F5 into NPM and went to take a look, did the page show you what you expected? If not, what did you expect?
- What unhealthy states can exist in your load balancers that you can't currently alert or report on?
- Are there places where trending, correlation, or aggregation from many F5s would be particularly helpful?
