F5 Monitoring Capability

jacob_gannon — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 15:10:00 GMT

Hi,

I've noticed a few posts in the community discussing F5 Load Balancer monitoring with either AppMon or Dynatrace Managed... Can someone please explain the current capability of Dynatrace Managed in this area?

A response to a post here (back in February) suggests that Dynatrace Managed agents may theoretically be able to get more visibility into the LB as the agent is installed at an OS level.

Thanks,

We do not currently. You can go with a product idea or a services engagement or look into building an extension yourself.
