Apr 10, 2014You can set the monitor at the node level vice the pool level by specifying a node specific health monitor. This will enable you to apply a unique monitor to each node. Have you tried this?

NODE Level does not give me DNS option although there are other options to monitor like ICMP, TCP etc. Can you suggest any other way please ? - Cory_50405Apr 10, 2014

I see what you mean. Only a subset of monitors seems to be available to apply directly at the node level, and DNS isn't one of those. External monitor types look to be available though. You could potentially create an external monitor to run a dig against your node. This would probably be a considerable amount of effort though, if it's even feasible. I can think of no other way to accomplish it though, given your situation. - Srijana_137175Apr 10, 2014

How do we setup external monitor ? could you brief me a bit please ? Cannt see that option under NODE so.. - Cory_50405Apr 10, 2014

You'll have to go into Local Traffic -> Monitors and create it there. Then it should show under the node monitor configuration. The actual creation of the external monitor will be tricky. I've never configured an external monitor like this, so I don't know that I'll be of much help. We've created one to log into a node via SSH and run a script local to that device, but that's different than what you are attempting to do. - Srijana_137175Apr 11, 2014
