dynamic monitor send strings

Hello all.

 

 

Can a health monitor be configured such that its "send string" dynamically includes the name of the LB pool it is acting on? Ie, something that has the same effect as this hypothetical send string syntax:

 

 

Send String: "GET /x?pool=[LB::server pool] HTTP/1.0"

 

 

Regards,

    Hi Iker,

     

     

    No, I don't think you can get the nodes address from a variable to use in a stock monitor send string. You could do this using an external monitor though. You can check the monitoring codeshare for examples (Click here).

     

     

    Edit: sorry, on the first read, I thought you wanted to get the IP of the host being polled. I don't think even with an external monitor that you'd be able to get the pool name. Anyone else have suggestions for this?

    Thanks Aaron. Just got some feedback from folks at F5 and it looks there's no way to simulate dynamic monitor strings at the moment.
