No Data displaying for some LTM's #52

Open powerballad opened 4 days ago

powerballad commented 4 days ago

I have added all my LTM's to the AST. For some of the LTM's, certain dashboards are displaying No data for objects. For example, on the Virtual Servers dashboard, some of the LTM's display virtual server data and some say No data. What would be causing this to happen and are AST logs that would show what the problem is?

In addition, remember you'll need to be an administrator of the BIG-IP to collect the full stat portfolio. If you have different administrative IDs you'll need to modify the yaml file and designate a user per BIG-IP. For those that may not be familiar, just remember, it's using environmental variables/secrets. So, once the container is started, it will go into memory. I'd highly suggest looking at this: https://f5devcentral.github.io/application-study-tool/config/secret_management/vault_based.html
