Measures reported by F5StatusTest

Every physical server in a server pool is referenced by BIG-IP using one/more virtual servers. A Virtual Server is a combination of virtual address and virtual port, associated with a content site that is managed by a BIG-IP system. When the load balancer receives requests from clients it routes them to servers in the pool using these virtual servers. This test reports the status of incoming and outgoing traffic through all the virtual servers/addresses that have been configured on the load balancer.

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Incoming_traffic The rate at which requests are received Mbps An abnormally high rate of incoming traffic may require additional analysis.
Outgoing_traffic The rate at which responses from the servers are transmitted by the load balancer Mbps An abnormally high rate of outgoing traffic may require additional analysis.
In_packet_rate The number of packets received per second Packets/Sec  
Out_packet_rate The number of packets sent out per second Packets/Sec  
Current_conns Indicates the number of connections currently established by the load balancer with the servers in the pool Number  
Connection_rate The rate at which connections have been established Conns/Sec  
Connection_timeouts The number of connections that timed out Number A very high value of this measure indicates frequent connection timeouts. In such a case, you might want to consider resetting the timeout period for connections.
Memory_pool_total The total memory allocated to the pool MB  
Memory_pool_used The memory that has been utilized MB  
Pct_memory_pool_used The percentage of memory in the memory pool that has been utilized Percent Ideally, this value should be low.
Memory_errors The total number of memory access errors Number Ideally, this value should be 0.
