When F5 devices are monitored with Tufin SecureTrack, every part of the configuration can be found here (except ACLs).
It might happen that in SecureTrack > Menu > Settings > Administration > Status the status sign is yellow, stating "Error: Wrong arguments". At the first glance, there seems to be a problem regarding authentication or version of F5. But this isn't necessarily so complicated.

Looking at the Client Log in /var/log/st for example this information can be found:

FAULT: 14713 20191221 08:24:06.041 what() -> Error occurred when pulling configuration from the device: Wrong arguments
"send_error "\n$expect_out(buffer)\n""
send_error "\nsent username\n"
send_error "\nsent username\n"
11255 20191221 08:24:05.030 Error occurred when pulling configuration from the device: Wrong arguments
FAULT: 11255 20191221 08:24:05.031 what() -> Error occurred when pulling configuration from the device: Wrong arguments

If you find the error mentioned above, just check the connection. Even if it isn't obvious, a connection time out might have occurred.
"Wrong arguments" is also displayed if there is no ssh connection possible between SecureTrack Server and F5.
