PLEASE NOTE: F5 BIG-IP Telemetry Streaming is no longer in active development. We are moving this technology into maintenance mode, focusing on the next generation of Telemetry innovations. We will continue to update BIG-IP TS with critical security updates.
F5 BIG-IP Telemetry Streaming (BIG-IP TS) is an iControl LX Extension delivered as a TMOS-independent RPM file. Installing the BIG-IP 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 BIG-IP TS JSON declaration to BIG-IP TS’s declarative REST API endpoint.
IMPORTANT Beginning with BIG-IP TS 1.7.0, the RPM and checksum files will no longer be located in the /dist directory in this repository. These files can be found on the Release page, as Assets. You can find historical files on GitHub by using the Branch drop-down, clicking the Tags tab, and then selecting the appropriate release.
For the documentation on BIG-IP Telemetry Streaming, including download, installation, and usage instructions, see the BIG-IP Telemetry Streaming User guide at http://clouddocs.f5.com/products/extensions/f5-telemetry-streaming/latest/.
The BIG-IP Telemetry Streaming documentation contains a variety of example declarations you can use directly or modify to suit your needs. See the Consumers and Example Declarations pages.
If you come across a bug or other issue when using BIG-IP Telemetry Streaming, use GitHub Issues to submit an issue for our team. You can also see the current known issues on that page, which are tagged with a purple Known Issue label.
Important: Github Issues are consistently monitored by F5 staff, but should be considered as best effort only and you should not expect to receive the same level of response as provided by F5 Support. Please open a case as described below with F5 if this is a critical issue.
