Hello, I have fastL4 VIP with one member in a pool.   I want to check status of the member (up/down).   I tried to do it by this simple iRule and I got everytime status "down" but server is UP....

Hi Tom, %1 is not for partitions but, route-domains. And moreover, the irule mentioned in the question is not 'monitoring' purpose. It is only meant to log the status. You must be having a monitor attached to your pool for monitoring purpose.

    Hello, yes you are right, it is number of Route Domain. My answer was not clear. I have of course monitor attached to pool.

     

    This rule was like test rule how this check is working and now I will use it in another iRule.

     

    Thank you
