We had to differentiate between F5 version lower and greater than 11.2 because the datasource/OID had changed. The related check plugins were {{f5_bigip_cluster_status}}, {{f5_bigip_cluster_status.v11_2}}.

Werk #4819 revealed another bug regarding these check plugins: if F5 version was greater than 11.2 the SNMP scan function in the main-check {{f5_bigip_cluster_status}} returned False and the sub-check {{f5_bigip_cluster_status.v11_2}} had no chance to generate any service. Thus no service {{BIG-IP Cluster Status}} was discovered for F5 devices with version greater than 11.2.
