One of the most complex projects to work on as a network engineer or system administrator is the implementation of load balanced, redundant connectivity to application servers. There are many different best in class designs to choose from and deciding which technology to use is a hot topic among network architects. Several…
Hello, I was looking at the Network tab on NPM and I noticed the resource "High Discards & Errors Today" was pretty much a list of every single F5 load balancer in the network, with discards numbering in the millions. My gut says that must be reporting incorrectly. Is there a known issue or a suggested way of verifying…
I've got a set of 3 Kiwi servers sitting behind an F5, which I *thought* would effectively load balance the incoming syslog volume (I'm seeing around 5-8million messages per hour, and we haven't really turned everything on yet). The problem, I just discovered, is that F5 load balances based on connections, not…
I'm running NPM 10.7 and there still doesn't seem to be anything that would alert based on pool member status. Does anyone have some custom tricks I could try out? Thanks!
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. JP
I am thinking about setting up a load balance VIP to send all my traps to. It would be set up as a round robin VIP with no persistence, so in theory it would just evenly distribute traps between however many pollers are in the VIP (right now 2, near future 3). I'm just wondering if anyone has tried anything like this and…
Hi, Im not sure how many people use BIG LTM for loadbalancing out there, but I was hoping that work could be done, in a similar way to the Wireless Controllers and ESX that could monitor Virtual servers on F5 BIG IP. The dashboard on the BIGIP is not the greatest and I would prefer to monitor from SW. Regards Miron
I am about to bring three additional pollers and an additional web server online and I want to make sure that I cover all the steps involved in getting them fully integrated into the monitoring system. In another post I found out that the additional web server must have the following done: - download and install an NTA and…
Installing Orion NPM version 10 with license for additional polling engine and NTA at work from the ground up. I understand the additional polling engine is just an NPM install on a seperate server and once the NPM's have discovered devices we can use 'Monitor Polling Engines' feature to decide which polling engine will…
