DESCRIPTION
You can use the wmi component to configure a custom monitor, or you can use the default WMI monitor that the Local Traffic
Manager provides. This type of monitor checks the performance of a pool, pool member, or virtual server that is running the
WMI data collection agent, and then dynamically load balances traffic accordingly.
EXAMPLES
create wmi my_wmi defaults-from wmi
Creates a monitor named my_wmi that inherits properties from the default WMI monitor.
list wmi
Displays the properties of all of the WMI monitors.
OPTIONS
agent
Displays the agent for the monitor. The default agent is Mozilla/4.0 (compatible: MSIE 5.0; Windows NT).
app-service
Specifies the name of the application service to which the monitor belongs. The default value is none. Note: If the
strict-updates option is enabled on the application service that owns the object, you cannot modify or delete the
monitor. Only the application service can modify or delete the monitor.
command
Specifies the command that the system uses to obtain the metrics from the resource. See the documentation for this
resource for information on available commands.
defaults-from
Specifies the name of the monitor from which you want your custom monitor to inherit settings. The default value is
wmi.
description
User defined description.
glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob for a description of glob expression syntax.
interval
Specifies the frequency at which the system issues the monitor check. The default value is 5 seconds.
method
Displays the GET method. You cannot modify the method.
metrics
Specifies the performance metrics that the commands collect from the target. The default value is LoadPercentage,
DiskUsage, PhysicalMemoryUsage:1.5, VirtualMemoryUsage:2.0.
name Specifies a unique name for the component. This option is required for the commands create, delete, and modify.
partition
Displays the administrative partition within which the component resides.
password
Specifies the password if the monitored target requires authentication. The default value is none.
post Specifies the mechanism that the monitor uses for posting. The default value is RespFormat=HTML.
regex
Displays the items that match the regular expression. The regular expression must be preceded by an at sign (@[regular
expression]) to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help regex for a description of regular
expression syntax.
time-until-up
Specifies the amount of time, in seconds, after the first successful response before a node is marked up. A value of 0
(zero) causes a node to be marked up immediately after a valid response is received from the node. The default value
is 0 (zero).
timeout
Specifies the number of seconds the target has in which to respond to the monitor request. The default value is 16
seconds.
If the target responds within the set time period, it is considered up. If the target does not respond within the set
time period, it is considered down. Also, if the target responds with a RESET packet, the system immediately flags the
target as down without waiting for the timeout interval to expire.
url Specifies the URL that the monitor uses. The default value is /scripts/f5Isapi.dll.
username
Specifies the user name if the monitored target requires authentication. The default value is none.
