Check BigIP F5 bandwidth

I just found an old Nagios plugin of mine, it was sitting in a directory, taking dust.

As usual, I’m not a programmer, so I just do quick and dirty tricks to get what I need, so here it is the plugin in all it’s bash glory.

The plugin is commented, although in Italian, but google can translate the comments.

I wrote this plugins some years ago, it works using SNMP as protocol and with the standard (at those times) OID for BigIP. If they’ve not changed, it should work with no efforts. It’s based on v3 of SNMP protocol and the auth and priv are “hardcoded”, so you may want to change them.

Have fun
