Configuration

The following settings are required:

• username
• password

The following settings are optional:

• endpoint (default: https://localhost:443): The URL of the Big-IP environment.
• collection_interval (default = 10s): This receiver collects metrics on an interval. Valid time units are ns, us (or µs), ms, s, m, h.
