Operational_Status in F5 Load Balancer Discovery
When I am doing the F5 Load Balancer discovery, I found that the device keep change to Non-Operational for operational_status field. This is very weird to me. So I took a deep look, and figured out something as below.
In the F5 Load Balancer pattern, step "4. Get Failure Status ID" reads the OID "iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.f5.bigipTrafficMgmt.bigipSystem.sysCM.sysCmFailoverStatus.sysCmFailoverStatusId". and for this FailoverStatus, there is a F5 document to describe the meaning.

In my environment, the status is 3, standby. and then in Pattern step "7. Set Failover status"
EVAL(javascript:var rtrn = '';if (${failureStatusId}=='4' || ${failureStatusIdOld}=='3') { rtrn='1';}else {rtrn='2';})
If the status is not 4-active, all will be set to non-operational for operational_status.
This is not really make sense to me. Even it is standby, but it should be as operational status, or DR standby.
