I have collected some of the most interesting OIDs (in my scenario im using LTM and APM modules) from the F5 MIBS:

OIDs – System Data

Hardware sensors (fans, power supplies…), resource usage (cpu, mem…), sync status…
MIB: F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB (file F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB.txt)

[table id=5 /]

OIDs – Access Policy Manager (APM)

Number of sessions in my VPN SSL portal
MIB: F5-BIGIP-APM-MIB (file F5-BIGIP-APM-MIB.txt)

[table id=6 /]

OIDs – Local Traffic Manager (LTM)

State of my pools servers and nodes (active nodes, number of connections…)
MIB: F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB (F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB.txt)

[table id=7 /]

Downloading MIB files

You can download the MIB files using the WEB gui (About -> Download section -> MIB files)

Output examples

These are the snmpwalk command outputs for some of these OIDs:

# snmpwalk -v2c -c public bigip1 F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB::sysCmFailoverStatusStatus
F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB::sysCmFailoverStatusStatus.0 = STRING: ACTIVE
# snmpwalk -v2c -c public bigip2 .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.14.3.2
F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB::sysCmFailoverStatusStatus.0 = STRING: STANDBY

Note you can use either MIB name or OID format

# snmpwalk -v2c -c public bigip1 F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB::sysChassisPowerSupplyTable
F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB::sysChassisPowerSupplyIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1
F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB::sysChassisPowerSupplyIndex.2 = INTEGER: 2
F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB::sysChassisPowerSupplyStatus.1 = INTEGER: good(1)
F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB::sysChassisPowerSupplyStatus.2 = INTEGER: good(1)
# snmpwalk -v2c -c public bigip1 F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrStatServerCurConns
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrStatServerCurConns."/LAN/EXCHANGE01" = Gauge32: 3341
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrStatServerCurConns."/LAN/EXCHANGE02" = Gauge32: 3383
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrStatServerCurConns."/LAN/PROXY01" = Gauge32: 2853
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmNodeAddrStatServerCurConns."/LAN/PROXY02" = Gauge32: 2631
