F5 Monitor with special requirement on a Pool
I am working on a LTM with v11.
I have a single application server with 6 managed nodes. All these managed nodes are configured on a pool.
There are 3 applications deployed on the all the 6 node...

Or if you wanted to just keep one virtual server, you could do it by iRule and create three separate pools (app1, app2, and app3), all using the same six nodes with your appropriate monitor:
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/app1" } { pool app1 } if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/app2" } { pool app2 } if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/app3" } { pool app3 } }

- Cory_50405Mar 11, 2014NoctilucentIf you are looking for health checking per application, then this solution would work. Each application with its own separate pool, with its application specific monitor. That way if one application goes down on a node, it'll only affect that application's specific pool. Make sense?
