How do I get started managing statistics
data?
You can monitor statistics data provided by the BIG-IP devices managed by BIG-IQ Centralize Management. There are a few things you need to do before you can start
monitoring the statistics data generated by your managed devices.
- You must have AVR provisioned on your BIG-IP devices in order to collect statistics.
- You need to install, configure, and discover a data collection device (DCD). The DCD stores the data from your devices, and routes the date to your BIG-IQ device. Refer toPlanning and Implementing a Centralized Management Deploymentfor details.
- You need to enable statistics collection for the devices you want to monitor. There a couple of ways to do that. Refer toEnabling Statistics Collectionfor details.
Once you have your system set up and you are receiving statistics, you should
take a minute or two to understand how the user interface works. The interface is set up so
that statistics from Device, DNS, Local Traffic, Network Security, and Web Application
Security use a common set of tools to manage how you access and manage your data. Once you
understand how this common interface works, you should be ready to go.
Statistics for the Access
component use a slightly different user interface. For details on monitoring these statistics,
refer to
Access Reporting and Statistics
.Statistics for this BIG-IQ
device also use a different user interface. For details on monitoring these statistics, go to
, or
and refer to the online help.
