Re: [Observium] f5 BIG-IP Alarm

      +1!
Thanks for the alert config below.
I’d like to monitor not only the virtual servers, but the poolmembers for loadbalancing as well…
Would be very useful for us.
Met vriendelijke groet, kind regards,

Holy shit, this us the first time I've ever seen the export thing used.
At some point we should write the import part...

Gents,
 I’m trying to trigger an event based upon availability in the ”load balancer” section, trying to find a variable in the device data that I can trigger on.
Basically I want to trigger if a Virtual Server is down, or if the HA status change. All that is visible in the GUI but not sure if I can create a trigger for it in the Alarm section, possible?
//Anders
Here is how I monitor the global HA status on my active/passive
F5 HA pairs, as well as config sync status, and fan/power supply
