3 Blue Medora VMware vRealize Operations Management Pack for F5 BIG-IP User Guide
1. PurposeThe Blue Medora VMware vRealize Operations (vROps) Management Pack for F5 BIG-IP User Guide describes the primary features of the Management Pack for F5 BIG-IP, including dashboards, reports, alerts, and metrics that allow users to optimize the monitoring and management of F5 BIG-IP resources from within vRealize Operations.
2. Introduction to the Management PackThe Management Pack for F5 BIG-IP is an embedded adapter for vRealize Operations (vROps) that monitors F5 BIG-IP systems remotely. It connects through the F5 BIG-IP iControl REST API to retrieve data regarding BIG-IP systems and their performance.This section includes the following topics:
• How the Management Pack Collects Data• Data the Management Pack Collects
2.1 How the Management Pack Collects DataDuring each data collection cycle, the Management Pack opens an F5 BIG-IP iControl REST API connection to F5 BIG-IP and queries it to retrieve metrics for F5 BIG-IP resources.
The collection interval for the adapter instance resource determines how often the Management Pack collects data. The default collection interval is five minutes.
The Management Pack supports Auto Discovery and manual discovery of resources. When you enable Auto Discovery for F5 BIG-IP adapter instance, the Management Pack creates resources in vRealize Operations and collects data after the main collection query runs. If a new resource belongs to a resource kind that does not exist in vROps, the Management Pack creates the resource kind.
2.2 Data the Management Pack CollectsThe Management Pack can collect performance data, relationships (associations), and events for the following F5 BIG-IP resources:1. F5 BIG-IP Adapter Instance2. F5 BIG-IP Device Group (requires F5 BIG-IP Admin access)
3. F5 BIG-IP Device4. F5 BIG-IP System5. F5 BIG-IP Pool6. F5 BIG-IP Pool Member7. F5 BIG-IP Node8. F5 BIG-IP Virtual Server9. F5 BIG-IP Application Service10. F5 BIG-IP Tags11. F5 BIG-IP World
2.3 Inventory Tree (Traversal Spec)The Inventory Tree (Traversal Spec) feature in vROps allows you to easily navigate your F5 environment. The hierarchical structure implicitly shows relationships among resources and enables quick drill-downs to root-cause issues.
2.4 External Relationships to other Management PacksIn addition to external relationships to the VMware virtual layer, this Management Pack includes external relationships for Blue Medora True Visibility Suite customers who are also using Blue Medora’s vROps Management Packs for Nutanix (v6.0.10600013) or KVM (v6.0.10100004). The following external relationships between F5 BIG-IP and other resources can be discovered: • F5 Node --> Nutanix VM • F5 Node --> KVM VM • F5 Device --> Nutanix VM • F5 Device --> KVM VM

8. Troubleshooting the Management PackKnown troubleshooting information can help you diagnose and correct common problems with the Management Pack for F5 BIG-IP.
This section includes the following topics:• Troubleshooting an Adapter Instance• Testing Connection Failures• Viewing System Log Files
8.1 Troubleshooting an Adapter InstancePerform these general troubleshooting steps to diagnose and correct problems with an adapter instance:
• Edit the adapter instance and click Test Connection to verify the connection to vROps. Refer to section “8.2 Testing Connection Failures”.
• View the collection status and collection state for the adapter instance resource on the Environment Overview page in vROps.
• Check the adapter and collector logs for errors. Refer to section “8.3 Viewing System Log Files”, for details.
8.2 Testing Connection FailuresWhen you click Test Connection in the Manage Solution window while configuring an adapter instance, the following connection errors are possible.
8.2.1 Unable to Authenticate with User Name and PasswordEnsure the correct F5 BIG-IP User Name and Password was entered.
8.2.2 Unable to Reach Host and PortEnsure the correct port number and F5 BIG-IP Management IP or DNS name was entered for your F5 BIG-IP System.
8.2.3 User Credentials Do Not Have Enough PermissionsYou must have a minimum of an Auditor user role with iControl REST API access assigned to your F5 BIG-IP credentials.
8.2.4 Detected a physical device, but ‘Virtual’ is selected as license typeEnsure the correct license type is selected in the Manage Solution window when configuring your adapter instance.
16 Blue Medora VMware vRealize Operations Management Pack for F5 BIG-IP User Guide
8.3 Viewing System Log FilesYou can view F5 BIG-IP adapter errors in the adapter and collector log files. You can view the adapter and collector log files in the vROps user interface or in an external log viewer.
The adapter log files are in the $VCOPS_BASE/user/log/adapters/BigIpAdapter/ folder. The collector log files are in the $VCOPS_BASE/user/log/ folder.
The logging level is set to ERROR by default. To troubleshoot issues, set the logging level to INFO. To view detailed messages, including micro steps, queries, and returned results, set the logging level to DEBUG.
You can set the base log level for the collector via Administrator -> Support -> Logs -> Select COLLECTOR folder -> Select Edit Properties icon -> Edit Root logger level.
NOTE: If you set the logging level to DEBUG, log files can become large very quickly. Set the logging level to DEBUG only for short periods of time.
For complete information about viewing log files and modifying log levels, refer to the vROps online help.
