Service check approaching-f5-all
Vendor: f5
OS: all
Description:
indeni will alert several weeks before a service check occurs on F5 devices.
Remediation Steps:
Contact F5 support.
How does this work?
This script logs into the device through SSH and extracts the service check date. The date is then compared to the latest entry in the official F5 list located at https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K7727.
Why is this important?
The service check date is located in the BIG-IP license and is the same as the date the license was last activated or the date the service contract for the device expires, whichever date is earlier. This alert would serve to let the administrators know that an upgrade to the latest version is not possible without a license reactivation.
Without Indeni how would you find this?
Manual tracking by an administrator is usually the only method for knowing if a license reactivation is needed.

license-elements-limit:
why: |
License-limits can be used to regulate for instance SSL Transactions per second, APM maximum simultaneous users, maximum throughput of an F5 VE Edition or maximum compressed Mbits per second. It is important to track these whenever possible to ensure that no traffic disruption is caused by the license reaching the set threshold.
