[influxdb] Influx/Telegraf & F5/BigIP

[Paul Seymour]

Hello,

Has anyone used telegraf (or CollectD) to pull information from F5's and
put into Influx ?

Not sure on how to go about it - presume SNMP but not sure where to start
with configuration.

Any pointers/help/examples would be very gratefully received.

Thanks
Paul

Did you happen to figure this out, Paul?

Looking for the same thing, not sure where to start.

We just migrated from collectd to telegraf. Here's the config I'm using:

## First copy mibs from the BigIP (located in /usr/share/snmp/mibs/F5* ) to local snmp mibs directory on monitoring host (same directory on CentOS 7)


[[inputs.snmp]]
agents = [ "192.168.1.6" ]
version = 2
community = "tacocat"
interval = "60s"
timeout = "10s"
retries = 3


[[inputs.snmp.field]]
name = "hostname"
oid = "RFC1213-MIB::sysName.0"
is_tag = true

[[inputs.snmp.table]]
name = "F5_PoolStatus"
oid = "F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolStatTable"
inherit_tags = [ "hostname" ]

[[inputs.snmp.table]]
name = "F5_ClientSSLStatus"
oid = "F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmClientSslStatTable"
inherit_tags = [ "hostname" ]

[[inputs.snmp.table]]
name = "F5_CPU"
oid = "F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB::sysCpuTable"
inherit_tags = [ "hostname" ]

[[inputs.snmp.table]]
name = "F5_Fan"
oid = "F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB::sysChassisFanTable"
inherit_tags = [ "hostname" ]

[[inputs.snmp.table]]
name = "F5_Temperature"
oid = "F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB::sysChassisTempTable"
inherit_tags = [ "hostname" ]
