Difference between LocalLB::PoolMember :: set_monitor_state and LocalLB::Pool::set_member_monitor_state

I have a pool with two pool members and at any point only one member should be enabled. I want to enable/disable both the session state and monitor state of the pool member.

 

 

I am able to set the session state using PoolMember :: set_session_enabled_state. However I am facing issues setting the pool member monitor status.

 

Can anyone please share an example of how this can be done? Should I use the set_monitor_state() or the set_member_monitor_state() to selectively set the pool member monitor state. I am using PERL for development. Your help is very much appreciated!

    Check out the article I wrote on Graceful Server Shutdowns. It explains how to disable a pool member as well as disabling new connections.

    The accompanying sample code can be found here:

    This sample was written in PowerShell but you should be able to get the methods used out of it for use with Perl.

     

     

    Hope this helps...
