Hi Andy,
Are you thinking about a configuration management tool?
I think it makes a lot of sense to run a Monitoring and Analytics software for BigIP devices on your network. Network and Application owners very often find it difficult to centrally manage large networks. Very often they find that they need to
Centrally view and control of the entire network topology
Remotely route traffic
Run housekeeping: User authentication,User access controls, Auditing of user action
Compare statistics across applications, devices and data centers.
AppViewX is a Network & Application Analytics/Monitoring tool that lets you do all of these, and beyond.
Whats more, its a "vendor agnostic software" - It is perfectly customizable with ADC devices from any vendor, including Big IP devices from F5.
Based on the requirements from our customers, not many had asked for configuration management but would certainly help for specific users.
