TS Configuration¶

Deploy the TS Service Definition¶

Using the tool of your choice (i.e. VS Code, Postman, GitLab Web IDE + pipeline) configure the BIG-IP using the previously created service definition.

1. Send the newly created definition to the BIG-IP.

   • `POST https://{{big_ip_mgmt}}/mgmt/shared/telemetry/declare`

2. Log into the Graphite console and validate that metrics are being sent from the BIG-IP.

Reconfigure TS¶

To monitor a single tenant, you can modify the existing TS definition and refine the My_Poller configuration.

1. Referance the below TS example and change your TS definition by specifying just a single tenant to monitor.
2. Log into the Graphite console and validate that metrics are still being collected from a a single tenant.

Example of Tenant Specific TS Declaration¶

Below is an example of a generic HTTP based service definition for AS3.

@bigip_mgmt = ltm1.lab.local
