The check queries the MIB tables of F5 BIG-IP loadbalancers (local traffic managers) for the status of any load balancing pools. It gathers the number of loadbalancers backing the pool and how many of those are working. It doesn't currently honor the 'MinUpMembers' parameter that can be set to trigger actions for the pool if too many members fail.

It supports devices running the 9.0 and above releases of the F5 OS. It's tested against 9.3 devices.
