Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
When monitoring F5 BIG-IP load balancers, SolarWinds Network Insight requires both SNMP for device status and iControl (a proprietary F5 API) for advanced configuration and health monitoring. The SolarWinds guide states:
"After adding an F5 load balancer with SNMP, configure the iControl connection to access additional F5-specific health and configuration metrics."
