Use -h for a full help message.
Take note of the special meaning of this plugin thresholds:
-w, --warning=
Will return a WARNING state when there is LESS THAN this percentage of alive nodes. Floats are accepted. The default is 90
-c, --critical=
Will return a CRITICAL state when there is LESS THAN this percentage of alive nodes. Floats are accepted. The default is 50
----------------------------------------------------------------------
check_bigip_vs
Usage: check_bigip_vs -H hostname -C Community -S SW_Version -I VS_Name/IP_Address [ -p VS_Port ]
Use -h for a full help message.

Needs just some minor updating to get it to work with BIG-IP v11.
Partitions must be included in order to work.
Not the cleanest way, but if you only use the default "common" partition, changes below:
Original:
$oidPoolName =~ s/(.)/sprintf('.%u', ord($1))/eg;
$oidPoolName = length($PoolName) . $oidPoolName;
Updated so it still supports older versions:
if ($software eq '4.5' || $software eq '9' || $software || '10') {
$oidPoolName =~ s/(.)/sprintf('.%u', ord($1))/eg;
$oidPoolName = length($PoolName) . $oidPoolName;
}
if ($software eq '11') {
$oidPoolName = "/Common/" . $PoolName;
my $v11PoolName = $oidPoolName;
$oidPoolName =~ s/(.)/sprintf('.%u', ord($1))/eg;
$oidPoolName = length($v11PoolName) . $oidPoolName;
print "v11 " . $oidPoolName . "\n";
}

I have made minor changes to this great scripts to support our F5's with 10.x software version installed.
I've shared it in github: https://github.com/gcaracuel/check_f5_vs-pool
Cheers!

check_bigip_pool is 0 bytes (corrupted).
Any alternative links?

Hi,
We used to use this check to monitor pool status when we were on 9.x. We upgraded to 11.0 and these checks no longer work. I was wondering if there's any plans to update to support 11.x? I'm trying to fix the current plugin to work - so if I manange to get it I can submit it for review - otherwise if it's something that's being worked on that'd be great news to hear.

I tried the other 4 and this is by far the most useful. You can set critical and warning thresholds for the named pool, name virtual server etc.
At this point (without exhaustively testing it) I would suggest that the ' Could not interpret information from the BigIP' should be an UNKNOWN not a CRITICAL.
