F5 integration
Sync load balancing infrastructure, virtual servers, and pool health into Axiom in real time.
What it connects
- Read all virtual servers and their load balancing rules to track which services are deployed where.
- Discover backend server pools and their members to understand application infrastructure dependencies.
- Extract node status and health information to monitor which servers are live or offline.
- Query VLAN configurations and device cluster status to map network topology and failover state.
What it automates
- Enable or disable individual nodes to quickly take servers out of rotation during maintenance without losing traffic gracefully.
- Toggle pool members on and off to dynamically scale backend capacity or respond to incidents.
- Force nodes or pool members offline for immediate incident response when graceful shutdown isn't fast enough.
- Save F5 configuration changes and sync them across your device group to ensure changes persist through failover and reboot.
In practice
- Automatically disable unhealthy backend servers detected by your monitoring system and trigger remediation workflows without manual intervention.
- Build a live map in Axiom of your load balancer topology, virtual servers, and pool memberships to power compliance audits and capacity planning.
- Orchestrate blue-green deployments by reading pool status, adding new servers to pools, and draining connections from the old generation.
- Respond to security incidents by locking down traffic through virtual server controls while your team investigates, then save the lockdown configuration.
