F5 BIG-IP extension Extension Updated on Jan 28, 2026 Gain insights into the performance of your F5 BIG-IP LTM and DNS solutions.
Get started Overview Use the F5 BIG-IP extension with SNMP to collect data remotely.
Data is collected from your F5 devices every minute and continuously analyzed by the Dynatrace platform.
The insights provided go beyond simple charting capabilities cover both the Local Traffic Manager (LTM) and DNS (formerly Global Traffic Manager) modules of the BIG-IP platform.
The unified analysis pages offer insight into the health and performance of the platform, while the Dynatrace analytics engine baselines and alerts on the most important indicators. The topology-first approach allows Dynatrace Intelligence to investigate and correlate detected problems between components and identify root causes.
This page is intended for users who want to:
Monitor the health state and performance of their F5 BIG-IP devices Look for analysis support for Ops, IT, and network admins. This enables you to:
Monitor infrastructure with a comprehensive dashboard Detect traffic anomalies and set up alerting for them Take pre-emptive measures to avoid service degradations Use cases Monitor F5 infrastructure and resource utilization Understand the health and performance of Local Traffic Manager and DNS Enable alerting on detected anomalies Capture BIG-IP notifications by integrating with the SNMP Traps extension. Requirements Activate the extension in your environment web-UI using the in-product Hub, provide the necessary device configuration, and you’re all set.

Compatibility Requirements F5 BIG-IP devices using SNMP v2c and v3 Details The extension package contains:
SNMP data source configuration for metric ingestion Topology and relationship definitions for physical (BIG-IP instance, disks, network interfaces) and logical (LTM & DNS virtual servers, pools, pool members, etc.) components of the BIG-IP platform. Dashboards offering LTM & DNS monitoring overviews and a high level status overview Alerts covering component availability and resource utilization Unified Analysis pages for each entity This extension is built on top of the new Extension 2.0 Framework .
More information can be found on the Dynatrace Product News Blog .
Licensing and cost Calculate license consumption This extension runs all SNMP queries every minute. Once data is produced, this is ingested as metric datapoints and subject to license consumption. Whether you are on a Classic or DPS license model, the measurement unit for metric ingestion is based on metric datapoints.
To estimate the amount of metric datapoints produced by your extension configuration, use the following list which gives you a number of metrics per feature set and a multiplier value depending on which entity the metric is split by. Add all of these up and you will have the number of datapoints produced every minute .
default: 3 x F5 Devices chassis-components: 2 x Fans + 1 x Power supplies + 1 x F5 Devices device-packet-stats: 10 x F5 Devices device-entity-counts: 3 x F5 Devices device-connection-stats: 10 x F5 Devices instance-sync: 1 x F5 Devices instance-memory-basic: 2 x F5 Devices instance-cpu-basic: 10 x F5 Devices instance-memory-advanced: 5 x F5 Devices apm-licenses: 2 x F5 Devices disk: 3 x Disks interface: 12 x Interfaces rule: 3 x LTM iRules gtm-irule: 3 x DNS iRules profile-http: 6 x HTTP profiles profile-clientssl: 14 x Client SSL profiles profile-server-ssl: 9 x Server SSL profiles profile-serverssl-handshakes-basic: 2 x Server SSL profiles profile-serverssl-handshakes-advanced: 2 x Server SSL profiles gtm-dns-profile-state: 1 x DNS profiles gtm-dns-profile-metrics: 10 x DNS profiles virtualserver-connectivity-basic: 4 x LTM Virtual servers virtualserver-syn-cookies: 2 x LTM Virtual servers virtualserver-advanced: 9 x LTM Virtual servers virtualserver-basic: 1 x LTM Virtual servers virtualserver-connectivity-advanced: 3 x LTM Virtual servers pool-basic: 3 x LTM Pools pool-connectivity: 4 x LTM Pools pool-advanced: 4 x LTM Pools node-basic: 2 x LTM Pool members node-advanced: 4 x LTM Pool members node-connectivity: 3 x LTM Pool members gtm-dnssec: 3 x F5 Devices gtm-virtual-server-state: 1 x DNS Virtual servers gtm-virtual-server-metrics-traffic: 5 x DNS Virtual servers gtm-virtual-server-metrics-resources: 2 x DNS Virtual servers gtm-virtual-server-metrics-lb: 3 x DNS Virtual servers gtm-wide-ip-state: 2 x DNS Wide IPs gtm-wide-ip-metrics: 10 x DNS Wide IPs gtm-pool-state: 1 x DNS Pools gtm-pool-metrics: 6 x DNS Pools gtm-pool-member-state: 1 x DNS Pool members For example, for a monitoring configuration where all feature sets are enabled, containing 1 F5 BIG-IP Device which has 1 Fan, 1 Power supply, 1 Disk, 1 Interface, 1 LTM iRule, 1 GTM iRule, 1 HTTP profile, 1 Client SSL profile, 1 Server SSL profile, 1 DNS profile, 1 LTM Virtual server, 1 LTM Pool, 1 LTM Pool member, 1 DNS Wide IP, 1 DNS Virtual server, 1 DNS Pool, 1 DNS Pool member, the extension produces 188 metric datapoints per minute .
By extrapolation, it will ingest:
188 x 60 = 11,280 metric datapoints per hour188 x 60 x 24 = 270,720 metric datapoints per day188 x 60 x 24 x 365 = 98,812,800 metric datapoints per yearTips for avoiding license overconsumption: LTM and DNS modules are rarely configured both on the same device. You should check in advance which applies to your device and only enable those feature sets. Make use of the rich filtering configuration to only monitor those entities relevant to you, not the entire system. Feature sets When activating your extension using a monitoring configuration, you can limit monitoring to one of the feature sets. To work properly, the extension has to collect at least one metric after the activation.
In highly segmented networks, feature sets can reflect the segments of your environment. Then, when you create a monitoring configuration, you can select a feature set and a corresponding ActiveGate group that can connect to this particular segment.
All metrics that aren't categorized into any feature set are considered to be the default and are always reported.
A metric inherits the feature set of a subgroup, which in turn inherits the feature set of a group. Also, the feature set defined on the metric level overrides the feature set defined on the subgroup level, which in turn overrides the feature set defined on the group level.
