How can I change F5 SNMP polling interval

[cjlugoa]

I've found the extension.yaml file here:

/var/lib/dynatrace/remotepluginmodule/agent/runtime/extensions/cache/com.dynatrace.extension.f5.bigip/2.16.0/extension.yaml

An changed the interval from 1 munute to 10:

interval:
minutes: 10

But the extension doesn't seem to reread the change, even after disbaling and re-enablig the monitoring configuration.

Hi @cjlugoa,

The F5 BigIP extension doesn’t currently allow configuring the polling interval.
The extension.yaml you modified is located in the extension cache, which is automatically regenerated by Dynatrace.

Because of that:

• Any manual change in this folder is overwritten

• The extension won’t re-read the updated interval, even after disabling/enabling it

If you need a different polling interval, the only option is to create a custom version of the extension with the interval defined in its YAML, so it’s not managed by the cache.

Regards,
