If you have integrated your F5 Big-IP Load Balancer into Faddom via SNMP (see our guide How to Set Up a Load Balancer) you will now be seeing the VIPs in Faddom. In order to see the traffic beyond this, you will need to provide the sFlow data from the device itself. To so this, you can see the instructions below.
Note: You will need have the Resource Administrator or Administrator user role in order to add an sFlow collector
On the Main tab, click System > sFlow > Receiver List .The sFlow screen opens.
Click Add. The New Receiver properties screen opens.
In the Name field, type a name for the sFlow receiver (we recommend Faddom).
In the Address field, type the IP address of the Faddom server
From the State list, select Enabled.
Click Finished.
Setting global sFlow polling intervals and sampling rates for data sources
If you wish to use sFlow global polling intervals that are different from the default, you can use the below procedure. This applies to all VLANs, interfaces, and HTTP profiles. While it is possible to set different rates for different VLANS and interfaces, this is not recommended on Faddom as it may impact the accuracy of the data.
On the Main tab, click System > sFlow > Global Settings .The sFlow screen opens.
In the Name column, click a type of data source.The properties screen for that type of data source opens.
In the Polling Interval field, type the maximum interval in seconds between polling by the sFlow agent.
In the Sampling Rate field, type the ratio of packets observed to the number of samples you want the BIG-IP system to generate.For example, a sampling rate of 2000 specifies that one sample will be randomly generated for every 2000 packets observed.
Click Update.
Repeat this procedure to set the global polling interval and sampling rate for the other types of data sources.
