F5 Monitoring Capability

[jacob_gannon]

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.

Hi,

We recently released support for f5 load balancers:

Here's the blog post: https://www.dynatrace.com/news/blog/introducing-the-f5-ltm-activegate-monitoring-plugin/

And the documentation: https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/technology-support/monitoring-support/f5-big-ip-ltm/

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