Disabling a server in a pool based on multiple urls

Hello,

 

We have the following scenario in our deployment. I am new to F5 and do not know how to handle this. Any guidance is highly appreciated.

 

There are two machines that need to be load balanced - round robin.

Each machine has IIS running on port 443 and JBoss running on port 8443. If one of them (one of IIS and JBoss) is down, we should not send any traffic to that machine.

 

Here is an example with two machines (manager1 and manager2) with their associated IIS and JBoss URLs:

 

https://manager1.com:443/resources/images/logo.png

https://manager1.com:8443/resources/images/logo.png

 

https://manager2com:443/resources/images/logo.png

https://manager2.com:8443/resources/images/logo.png

 

if IIS is down on manager1 (even when JBoss is running on 8443), we need to flag manager1 as down in F5. Similarly, if JBoss is down on manager1 (even when IIS is running on 443), we need to flag manager1 as down in F5.

Same logic for manager2.

 

Thank you so much.

  • Hi,

     

    You can create two custom monitor and use them in pools.

    Availability requirement must be "all".

  • eaa,

     

    Thank you very much for the idea and the screenshot, it's extremely helpful. We will try this out and will report back.
