Native F5 BIG-IP Sensors
As a Network Engineer, I want native F5 BIG-IP sensors (BIG-IP 17.x): LTM Nodes, Pools, Pool Members, Virtual Servers, and System sensors (CPU, Interface, Disk, Cluster). These sensors must auto-discover objects and create channels dynamically.
Customer Need:
Native, out‑of‑the‑box PRTG sensors for F5 BIG‑IP devices, designed similarly to other vendor-specific sensor types (e.g., FortiGate, HPE, NetApp).
These sensors should provide intelligent auto‑discovery and automatic channel creation, instead of requiring SNMP Custom sensors.
We expect sensor types that automatically detect and monitor:
A. LTM Object Sensors (from LOCAL-MIB)
Each of these should be a dedicated native sensor type:
F5 LTM Nodes Sensor
F5 LTM Pools Sensor
F5 LTM Pool Members Sensor
F5 LTM Virtual Servers Sensor
B. System Sensors (from SYSTEM-MIB)
Native system-level sensors, similar to our existing CPU/Disk/Interface sensors:
F5 System Interface Sensor
F5 System CPU Sensor
F5 System Cluster Status Sensor
F5 System Disk Sensor
