call tmsh from irule for pool/monitor stuff

any suggestion? how to get monitor configuration(failed one) via irule?

how can I get the info for which monitor marks pool member down and get the content of this monitor in irule?

i do not think it should be done in irule.

hi,Nitass glad to hear from you again

hmm,I know how to check it in logs

but I want to get the info from irule or other place which I use http::respond to send back to broswer

searched many posts,it seems sideband can achieve this

pls advise

but I want to get the info from irule or other place which I use http::respond to send back to broswer

i do not see anywhere else besides log which shows name of health monitor that marks a pool member down. so, it is not going to be straightforward to do.

Hi,Nitass

Yeah,there is no straightforward way to do this.

I kind of achieve this via code below.

proc send_to_sideband { data } {
 this is the sideband processing procedure (function)

set sbserver [connect -protocol TCP -timeout 500 -idle 10 -status conn_status "ip:port"]

 send the sideband request
send -status send_status -timeout 500 $sbserver $data

 return the sideband response
return [recv -status recv_status -timeout 300 $sbserver]
 }

when LB_FAILED {
set current_pool [string range [LB::server pool] 8 end]
set pool_member [LB::server addr]
set pool_member_port [LB::server port]
set pool_member_status [LB::status]
set req "GET /mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/$current_pool/    HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost\r\nAuthorization: Basic anVjYW86Q2pqNTUxNjI1OTk=\r\n\r\n"
set sb [call send_to_sideband $req]
log local0.alert "sb is $sb"
   HTTP::respond 200 content [subst  -nobackslashes [ifile get f5_new_txt]]
 }

it is sideband ,I reused code form other contributor in this forum(Thanks).

but I am not sure whehter I can use icontrol command here since RESTAPI never give me a formatted response and it is difficult to filter out which monitor cause this pool down.

I kind of achieve this via code below.

i do not think tmsh/rest provides health monitor name which marks a pool member down.
