F5 Healthmonitor based on multiple URLs

Hello Folks,

 

I have a strange requirement to create a health monitor on a VIP based on two different URL status. I have tried using a external health monitor and whatever the way, it got failed.

 

First URL URL: http://1.1.1.1/greenchilly Second URL http://2.2.2.2/redtomato

 

First URL is returning 200 OK and second one is returning 403 Forbidden (Expected Response)

 

Is anyone aware of this kind of solution?

    Hi Jinshu,

     

    You can still use regular Health-Monitors for this more or less unusual requirement.

     

    When you create a new Health-Monitor, its possible to overwrite the destination IP/Ports to fixed values. By setting the IP to 1.1.1.1 the Health-Monitor will always monitor this IP even in the case the monitor is attached to node 2.2.2.2. With this knowledge in mind, just create monitors with fixed IPs, required send/receive strings and then attach both minitors to a single pool/node and set the availability requirement to "all monitors".

     

    Cheers, Kai
