Alert for Pool Member down

Hi Mike,

You can achieve this by writing up the aggregate monitor to something like:

  AvailabilityHealth
  
Error
true
Normal
Error

  $Target/Property[Type="F5.LTM.PoolMember"]/TargetIP$
  $Target/Property[Type="F5.LTM.PoolMember"]/MonitorState$
  $Target/Property[Type="F5.EnabledObject"]/AvailabilityState$
  $Target/Property[Type="F5.EnabledObject"]/AvailabilityReason$

  
  WorstOf

and then your corresponding alert message / display string would be something like:

  F5 LTM Pool Member Monitor State Monitor
  F5 LTM Pool Member state monitor


  F5 LTM Pool Member State Monitor Alert
  F5 LTM Pool Member state monitor alert. Target IP: {0}, monitor state: {1}, state: {2}, reason: {3}.

If you follow the article mentioned above, you should be able to author everything inside an override pack. But keep in mind that our next release of the F5 Management Pack would make these types of overrides a lot easier, as it will provide out-of-the-box alerts for mostly all of the F5 monitors. And then you can just simply override the alerts.

Julian,

 

 

Thanks for the Quick response...... When do expect the "next release" to be released?

Mike,

 

 

We are currently doing our final test passes against the latest release. We expect it to be completed very soon, and will let you know immediately when it is published for release.

 

 

Thank you for your patience!

Julian,

 

 

So I downloaded and installed the latest MP and I see that a lot more alert descriptions are now included Out-of-the-box. Great job! However, when a pool member goes down I need the alert description to include the name of the Pool the member is a part of (per my orignal post "Desired Alert = Pool member [poolmember_name] using port [port] which is a member of the pool: [pool_name] has been marked down for the following reason [Availability_reason]")

 

 

So I implemented the agg. monitor as you suggested but for some reason I cannot get the new monitor enabled on the pool member object. I have attached a doc to this post.

 

 

The attached doc contains the contents of my F5 overrides MP and a couple of screen shots. Can you take a look and provide any insight?

 

 

Thanks,
