Can't see all the monitors

Hi Joe,

 

 

A node is an IP address whereas a pool member is an IP address and port (with an association to the pool name). Normally, you create a monitor for a pool member without an alias IP or port and the monitor inherits the pool member IP and port. A service level monitor without a hardcoded port can't be associated with a node as there isn't a way for the monitoring daemon to know what port to perform the check on. If you create a monitor with a hardcoded alias port, then you can apply it to a node (an IP address).

 

 

The short answer is that you generally want to associate service monitors with a pool. If you need to create dependencies between multiple ports or multiple IP:ports you can use the alias IP and/or port definitions on the monitor to do so.

 

 

Hope this is clear? If not, can you describe what you're trying to implement in more detail?

 

 

Thanks, Aaron

If you are running v10, make sure you select the appropriate management partition before you create or search for a monitor. This feature tripped me up quite often when I was first exposed to them.

Thank you as always! Joe
