I'm sure there is room for improvement as I'm not the world's best scripter, but it works well and has been 100% maintenance free for me since I put it in production.  Basic instructions are in the top of the file.  Make sure you satisfy all the dependencies and set all the environment variables before you run it the first time or it will fail badly.  This was written for F5 software version 10.2; I don't have access to other versions so I'm not sure what if any other versions will work.  There's a good chance that other versions should work though, they don't generally modify the MIB very much from version to version, and I don't rely too heavily on the MIB anyway except to translate the OIDS into something easier to read.  As long as the top level of each part of the MIB stays the same (where I start doing snmpwalks) the rest should be OK.

Scot,

Creating your account should have been sufficient to allow you to add
your monitor to the monitor page.
