iControl Monitor For The Blackberry

It's 2 am and you just got a call about performance problems. Pull out your Blackberry, open this app, and take a look to see what is going on with your BIG-IP... All before getting out of bed.

This application will allow you to log in to and monitor your BIG-IP from your Blackberry.

Requirements:

  1. Blackberry OS version 4.1.0 or higher.
  2. Blackberry browser that supports SSL (preinstalled on most Blackberries).
  3. A publicly accessible BIG-IP. The Blackberry is automatically outside your network, so you must have a public route to the BIG-IP for the blackberry to contact the device.

Installation:

To install this application, download the zip file in the links section, unzip the contents to a directory, and follow the normal procedure for using the Blackberry Desktop Manager to install an application.

After installation, the BIG-IP icon will appear on the desktop (older color Blackberries), or in the Applications folder (newer blackberries).

 

When you run the applicaiton you must log into the BIG-IP. Any function you do not have rights to perform on the BIG-IP will not function properly on your Blackberry.

 

Limitations:

This version of the application allows you to see a lot, but not change much. This is by design, and future releases may allow you to manage some portions of your BIG-IP, depending upon user demand.

This system is limited by the connection of your Blackberry. To validate that you have a valid usename and password and a clear enough connection to communicate with your BIG-IP, choose "Test Connectivity" from the login screen.
