CLI and adding monitor to an existing pool

btw, we are using version BIG-IP 9.4.5 Build 1049.10. Thanks

Ok, but just to set things clear 1st, monitors can be assigned to pools, pool_members and nodes.

 

 

Http_VS

 

-

 

- http_pool

 

-

 

- pool_memberA

 

- pool_memberB

 

 

If you need to use the cli, you can use the command

 

 

"b pool http_pool monitor all https"

 

 

This will modify your existing monitor if any and then use the monitor specified above. However this changes for the pool and all the pool members in it.

 

 

To specifically modify for each individual pool member in a pool

 

 

"b pool http_pool member 10.10.70.120:http monitor http"

 

 

So when you run the b list command it should show

 

 

pool http_pool {

 

monitor all https

 

member 10.10.70.110:http

 

member 10.10.70.120:http monitor http

 

member 10.10.70.130:http

 

}

 

 

 

Thanks, I will try that. My concern with just running this command was that since a monitor was already in place it would not remove the existing monitor and then there would be two monitors in place. I don't have the ability to test these commands myself but I can have someone else test it.

When we run the command b pool monitor the cli looks like it takes the command however when we do a list on that pool the monitor is not changed. The results are the same when viewing the pool via the gui also.

raihan's steps worked on a 9.4.5 unit. As expected, the GUI showed the same config as the CLI.

[hoolio@ltm945:Active] ~ b pool test_pool '{member 3.0.0.1:80}'

 

[hoolio@ltm945:Active] ~ b pool test_pool list

 

pool test_pool {

 

members 3.0.0.1:http

 

}

 

[hoolio@ltm945:Active] ~ b pool test_pool list

 

pool test_pool {

 

monitor all http

 

members 3.0.0.1:http

 

}

 

[hoolio@ltm945:Active] ~ b pool test_pool monitor all tcp

 

[hoolio@ltm945:Active] ~ b pool test_pool list

 

pool test_pool {

 

monitor all tcp

 

members 3.0.0.1:http

 

}

 

[hoolio@ltm945:Active] ~ uname -a

We tried that command a few times on different ltm boxes with the same results. The command did not error out but there was no change. In playing around a little bit, we ran the command below and it worked.

 

 

b pool edit monitor all

 

 

Thanks,
