Announcing indeni 5.1: F5© BIG-IP© support, many improvements

Key Takeaways
  • Version 5.1 adds support for F5 BIG-IP 11.x, expanding compatibility with newer load balancer platforms.
  • New F5-related signatures monitor node availability, pool member and load balancer connection limits, active pool member thresholds, SSL TPS license utilization, ConfigSync state, Reaper process activity, and correlate logs with AskF5.com.
  • Discovery performance and stability have been improved, including fixes for slow device discovery related to /dev/random and prevention of multiple concurrent application starts.
  • Authentication reliability is enhanced by resolving RADIUS one-time token lockout issues and improving handling of VPN debug messages.
  • Multiple false positives in monitoring and profile checks (e.g., cluster monitoring, hardware alerts, SNMP time, SecureXL, HSRP VLAN configuration, NIC status) have been corrected for more accurate alerting.
  • User experience and diagnostics are improved through faster device list rendering, better Network Health widgets and alert handling, expanded full-text search coverage, enhanced inventory report performance, and enriched firewall debug data.

We’re excited to announce version 5.1. While this version has been generally available for a few months now, it has had improvements added to it over the past two months.

    • Number of SSL Transactions per Second nearing license limit
    • ConfigSync state not OK
    • Reaper process started
    • Cross check certain log lines with AskF5.com

  • IK-1847: Failed to Communicate alert: wrong details when Check Point shell is not bash
  • WC-1800: Performance of rendering of the list of devices has been improved
  • WC-2061: Network Health – scrolling alerts show acknowledged alerts
  • IS-922: Ignored items list was sometimes cleared instead of stored
  • IS-1371: Full text search improved to increase coverage and improve result sorting
  • IS-1357: “fwaccel stat” added to debug report for Check Point firewalls
