f5-nagios-bigiq-license-monitor

Nagios plugin to monitor time remaining on a BIG-IQ evaluation license

This plugin is deprecated in favour of the new f5-nagios-bigip-license-monitor

This plugin works almost identically to the BIG-IP version, with the exception of the addition of an optional "-l" parameter. Because BIG-IQ/IWF allows you to select an authentication provider, you'll need a loginReference to use a service account stored in AD. You can get your loginReference by first getting an authentication token as a local administrative user, then cURLing the REST endpoint at https:///mgmt/cm/system/authn/providers/ldap/. It will look something like "https://localhost/mgmt/cm/system/authn/providers/ldap/1a8c2902-d940-4bca-a4b6-c403d62eceed/login".
