For APM®, we provide a spreadsheet and a script to help you determine the number of DCDs required to handle the data generated by the BIG-IP® devices you manage. You can download these tools from downloads.f5.com. The APM data script collects metrics for the data your APM devices generate and stores the data in a file on your BIG-IP device.
If you use another logging mechanism, you can run reports (such as log reports or sessions reports) to get this data.
Even with the script, it might be tedious to collect data from each of your BIG-IP devices, so we recommend that you take the values from one of the BIG-IP devices with the most users and access profiles to account for the worst-case scenario.
