NimbostratusConvert script Alteon to BIGIP sintax (irules)
Hi Guys,
I´m in process of replacing all infrastructure of load balancing of Alteon (3408) to BIG-IP (Viprion).
In many cases was necessary developed simples scripts (Alteon) to open port the 80, send a request and wait by a response "code/string". (I replaced the normal health (http/https...) by these type of scripts). Example bellow:
/c/slb/adv/script 4
open "80"
send "GET /loadbalance.txt HTTP/1.1\\nhost:player.xxxx.xxxx.xxx.xx\\n\\n"
expect "poa"
close
I have same types of scripts that must have be converted to the BIGIP sintax.
Somebody can help me with the translation of script above?
Thanks !

Hi,
That looks like an HTTP monitor. You can configure something very similar by creating a new custom HTTP monitor. Set the send string to:
GET /loadbalance.txt HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: player.xxxx.xxxx.xxx.xx\r\nConnection: close
In 9.4 and higher, the monitoring daemon, bigd, will automatically append two CRLF's to the end of the send string. So you can leave them off.
The receive string would be:
poa

Jefrao_46910Hi hoolio
My problem wa solved.
bp>monitor player_test_ list
monitor test {
defaults from http
recv "poa"
send "GET /loadbalance.txt HTTP/1.1\r\nhost:xxx.xxx.xxxx.xxxx.xx\r\n\r\n"
Tip: Change the sitax \\n\\n by "\r\n\r\n".
Thank you very much ! :-)- The_BhattmanAs Aaron had mentioned it's a good idea to have the following "Connection: close" in your send string otherwise you might have some open connection.
