Hi Dan,

Thanks for offering those plugins back to the community!

Later this summer Hyperic will be rolling out an online community to aid
in 3rd party plugin development and distribution. This would likely
include
bug tracking and source control, but the details are still being flushed
out.

We'll certainly let you know when more details are available.

Hi dgorman,

I say this post back from 2006, i was wondering if there has been any updates on this plugin or has anyone made further progress on setting up monitoring for the F5 LTM loadbalancers.

Thanks,
Naman

Every time I attempt to deploy this plug-in I get the error..

[ScannerThread] [org.hyperic.hq.product.server.mbean.ProductPluginDeployer@635] HQ plugin f5-bigip.xml undeployed

I can't seem to find a way to turn on more detailed logging of what the actual problem is here. Does anyone know how to debug this further?

Thanks

Well, there has to be more messages... maybe you could shed some light and share your log file.

You could try to do dry run:
http://support.hyperic.com/display/DOC/Invoking+Plugins+Standalone

This might tell a bit more if there is something wrong.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to do a try run and see if i can get more verbose output.

Unfortunately digging through the entire log it never says anything about this plugin except for the line I pasted. This comes up every time I try to add a new Platform (where this plugin should show up) or on a restart.

I know in the agent there is a way to make the logging debug mode in agent.properties but cannot find a similar setting for the server. Am I missing something here?

Thanks
