F5 BIG-IP Inbound License Usage Monitor

Comtrade.F5.BigIp.Monitoring.Device.InboundLicenseUsage.Performance.UnitMonitor (UnitMonitor)

Monitors F5 BIG-IP inbound license usage.

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This monitor creates an alert when Inbound F5 BIG-IP License Usage is above or equal to the predefined threshold. Default value for this threshold is 100%. This monitor functions only on virtual F5 BIG-IP Devices with version 12.0 or higher.

Configuration

The following configuration parameters are customizable:

Debug

When true, writes more information into event log. Default value is false.

Use Cache

If true, cache will be used, in order to minimize impact of monitoring on the F5 BIG-IP device. Default value is true.

Port

Port for accessing the F5 BIG-IP device. Default value is 443.

Synchronization Time

Synchronization time in a 24-hour format. No default value is specified.

Timeout Seconds

This value is used for setting timeout value to access the F5 BIG-IP device. Default value is 270 seconds.

Update Interval in Seconds

Recurring scheduled interval in seconds used for running the workflow. Default value is 300 seconds.

Threshold

Threshold value (in %). Default value is 100.

Include mgmt Interface Traffic

If true, traffic from mgmt interface will be included in the calculation of license usage. Default value is false.

Causes

This monitor creates an alert when inbound traffic for a device reaches predefined percentage (100% by default) of traffic allowed by the F5 BIG-IP Device license.

Resolutions

This monitor will auto-resolve the alert after traffic falls bellow the predefined threshold. If this monitor creates alerts frequently, that means that performance of the applications delivered using this F5 BIG-IP device might be severely degraded and a license that allows more throughput might be needed.
