It would be nice to see F5's rSeries F5OS-A natively supported in SolarWinds. The hardware health sensors are not visible to the tenant BigIP systems, so they need to be polled at the appliance level. I have created custom CPU & Memory, Node Details, UnDP, and API pollers for them. But having native hardware health sensors would be much friendlier.

I made a custom poller for this. The new R-Series has a different snmp walk than a normal F5. OIDs are different and some don't exist at all. Its all in 1 main string on 1 OID. With the power of regex and custom poller I made this work out for me. It now lists and detects my R-Series as F5 vendor inside SolarWinds. Is there a way I can manually upload this to the poller site? My SolarWinds install does not have internet access so I can not upload from inside SolarWinds.
It doesn't look like they are allowing the upload of new content after the migration to their new Thwack platform… at least not yet.
How did you get this to work? When I try to build the custom poller, all I get are errors when I try to submit any OID. I'm running 2026.1.1, maybe they broke something in this version?
