Hello All !
Does anyone have a way to build a map of an F5 (or other load balancers) environment and the servers/services with status of what in a pool(s).
I think this would be an incredible resource/tool.

Have you tried scanning your F5s with NTM? What does your map end up looking like?
Also, I'm curious how you would use the map after you created it.
Is SNMP configured on your F5 device?
HI.
I have tried.. .. if I only scan the F5 itself.. it doenst show much at all. I suspect I would have to know all the devices behind it an/or have snmop or wmi access to them as well ?

Yes.. SNMP is configured on the F5
You will only need WMI on Windows systems. If you do this:
1. In NTM, click Help\Support Tools\Grab SNMPWALK
2. Enter the IP address of one of your node, and click Scan
Do you get back SNMP information?
Will this not work with SNMP on a windows device ?
I scanned several devices behind the F5 w/snmp. Scanned the F5 itself. But NTM does not seem to see the relation
In many cases Windows device do not respond to SNMP. For Windows machines, WMI is your best bet.
Or you can install the SNMP Service under add feature and then specify your SNMP Statements in the service profile, that is the way we do it.
The devices that are behind the loadbalancer are SNMP enabled. I can walk/discover them. However.
When I connect devices, the map see's nothing between the two. Am I missing something ? Or is that not something that NTM can currently do ?
