Introduction¶
Telemetry Streaming (TS) is an iControl LX Extension delivered as a TMOS-independent RPM file. Installing the TS Extension on BIG-IP enables you to declaratively aggregate, normalize, and forward statistics and events from the BIG-IP to a consumer application by POSTing a single TS JSON declaration to TS’s declarative REST API endpoint.
Telemetry Streaming uses a declarative model, meaning you provide a JSON declaration rather than a set of imperative commands.
This guide contains information on downloading, installing, and using the Telemetry Streaming Extension.
