It's determined by the order in which the information appears in MIB. 

It appears that is not the case in my example.  I am polling an F5 for pool member status/stats.  The mibs I am polling are:

 Pool Name: 1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.1.1.8.2.1.1
Pool Member IP Address: 1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.1.1.8.2.1.2
Pool Max connections: 1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.1.1.8.2.1.18
Pool Current connections: 1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.1.1.8.2.1.19
Pool member Status: 1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.1.1.8.2.1.21

So they should show up in table in this order I assume since that is the order in the mib.  As you can see below member status is not at the end...its in between max and current connections.  Any ideas?  And going forward it would be nice to specify which columns in the table the data goes so we can lay it out a little better.

Anyone else have this issue?  Any one else want the ability to specify the order of the columns?

We're going to try to provide this functionality, but, as always:  no promises.

Thanks Denny.  Always appreciated.

Yes and yes. Good to see the functionality may be added.

Hi Brian,

We are getting started monitoring our F5 boxes here and your F5 posts have been very informative!  I do have a question though, how did you manage to get that nice looking table ?  I downloaded the pollers you uploaded, I can't seem to get any of the values to show up except the PoolName. 

Thanks Brian!

And going forward it would be nice to specify which columns in the table the data goes so we can lay it out a little better.

That's a popular request, and I'm pretty sure we'll get it into a future release.

I have a f5 cluster that I am trying to set up, If i could get a chart like this i would be so pleased. but I currently just have the ip addresses and their current connections, how can I get  the historical log of these connections.
