Monitoring HTTP traffic data
HTTP network traffic provides insights into the health, status and request-types to your applications. When monitoring HTTP traffic over time you can evaluate local, such as latency and end-to-end times, and Web Application Security data, such as volume of illegal transactions. In addition, you can use this data to profile the users who request to access your application.
If you have Web Application security provisioned to the BIG-IP device managing your application, select Security from the F5 Services list in the center of the screen. The remaining information in the charts and dimensions, pertains to traffic management services.
Tip: To evaluate data for all your HTTP applications, go to Monitoring > DASHBOARDS > Local Traffic > HTTP. For Web Application Security, go to Monitoring > DASHBOARDS > Web Application Security.
