This receiver fetches stats from a F5 Big-IP node using F5's iControl REST API.

Prerequisites

This receiver supports Big-IP versions 11.6.5+

Configuration

The following settings are required:

• username
• password

The following settings are optional:

• endpoint (default: https://localhost:443): The URL of the Big-IP environment.
• collection_interval (default = 10s): This receiver collects metrics on an interval. Valid time units are ns, us (or µs), ms, s, m, h.
• tls (defaults defined here): TLS control. By default insecure settings are rejected and certificate verification is on.

Example Configuration

receivers:
  bigip:
    collection_interval: 10s
    endpoint: https://localhost:443
    username: otelu
    password: ${env:BIGIP_PASSWORD}

      insecure_skip_verify: true

The full list of settings exposed for this receiver are documented here with detailed sample configurations here. TLS config is documented further under the opentelemetry collector's configtls package.
