TPS monitoring on F5

Hy to all, could you give me the best references to monitor the TPS on F5? What I should do to perform this activity? Which are the steps that I must follow?

First look in Statistics menu, you will see multiple metrics shown there, both in the module statistics and performance reports (using v14.1.0 as a reference for the names).

 

That is because I not sure what you will consider a transaction in the F5.

 

After knowing what value you are looking for, you can get that via GUI as you found out already, via CLI, API (iControl REST/SOAP).

 

It all depends if you want to see in the F5 itself, or integrate with another tool. You could also monitor via SNMP, or send SNMP traps out.

 

There are many options, all depends on how you want to see that.
