Here's a template I use for MRTG, doing a global search and replace on
 the following strings:
DEVICE: DNS name for the F5 you're monitoring
ZZZ:  Virtual IP you want to collect stats on
COMMUNITY:  snmp community string with read access
NAME: what you want the IP called (such as www or searchdb)

The first stanza monitors bits in and out, the second monitors the
current number of open connections/sec and max open connections/sec.

This works on 9.4.4, I don't know if the OIDs changed on later versions.

Hope this helps,
Frank
