To identify the most resource-intensive Virtual Servers, the administrator needs to view detailed performance metrics. The BIG-IP Configuration utility provides this information under the Statistics menu. The path Statistics > Module Statistics > Local Traffic displays comprehensive data for LTM objects, including throughput (bits/packets per second) and connection counts for each Virtual Server. By sorting or analyzing this data, the administrator can pinpoint which Virtual Servers are processing the most traffic and are the likely cause of the high CPU load, allowing for an informed decision on which ones to migrate.

A. Local Traffic > Virtual Servers > Virtual Server List: This screen is primarily for configuring Virtual Servers and viewing their basic status (e.g., available, offline), not for detailed, comparative performance statistics.

B. System > Platform: This section provides aggregate system-level statistics for the entire BIG-IP device, such as overall CPU and memory usage, but does not break down resource consumption by individual Virtual Servers.

D. Local Traffic > Network Map: The Network Map is a graphical tool that visualizes the relationships between configuration objects (Virtual Servers, pools, nodes) but does not provide the granular statistical data needed for performance analysis.

1. F5 BIG-IP LTM Documentation (v17.1): Viewing BIG-IP LTM statistics. This official guide explicitly states, "You can view statistics for BIG-IP LTM objects such as virtual servers, pools, pool members, and nodes. You can view these statistics using the Configuration utility." It then directs the user to the Statistics > Module Statistics > Local Traffic screen. (Source: F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager: Monitoring Your Application, Chapter: Viewing BIG-IP LTM statistics).

2. F5 BIG-IP System Documentation (v16.1): Monitoring BIG-IP system performance. This document details the monitoring capabilities of the BIG-IP system. In the section on viewing performance graphs, it describes how to access detailed statistics for specific modules. For Local Traffic Manager, the path is consistently shown as Statistics > Module Statistics > Local Traffic, which is the central location for object-specific metrics like those for Virtual Servers. (Source: F5 BIG-IP System: Monitoring and Reporting, Chapter 2: Monitoring BIG-IP system performance, Section: Viewing performance graphs).

3. F5 BIG-IP TMOS Documentation (v15.1): About statistics. The documentation clarifies the purpose of the statistics screens: "The BIG-IP system gathers and displays statistics for all traffic and system objects... You can view statistics from the Main tab of the navigation pane, by navigating to Statistics > Module Statistics." This confirms that the Statistics menu is the designated location for this task.
