What is the Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control plug-in?

Hi cmbhatt,

Here's a summary:

Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control
System Monitoring Plug-in for F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager

Description

The System Monitoring Plug-in for F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager extends Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control to add support for managing the F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager. By deploying the plug-in in your Grid Control environment, you gain the following management features:
-
Monitor the F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager.
-
Gather configuration data and track configuration changes for the BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager.
-
Raise alerts and violations based on thresholds set on monitoring and configuration data.
-
Provide rich out-of-box reports for the user interface based on the gathered data.
-
Support monitoring by a remote Agent. For remote monitoring, the Agent does not need to be on the same computer as F5 BIG-IP.

Thanks and let me know if you need anything further.

thanks for the info

Hi, does this updated version work with LTM version 10?

Thanks,

Hi Dan,

The plug-in was developed for BIG-IP versions 9 and 10. So, far we have tested against version 9 and are scheduled to test against version 10 during the week of October 5. However, if you are intrested in giving it a go before then, head on over to the forum, below, and you can get the latest code.
