health monitor question

What I would do is define a new pool with both nodes and no priority group.

Then using an iRule examine the URI and select the appropriate pool.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    switch -glob [HTTP::uri] {
        "/solr/SPRUAT_Slave*" {pool NewPool}
        default {pool ExstingPool}
    }
}

thanks . can't u define two monitors and use it in irule?

monitor 1

GET /solr/SPRUAT_Master/admin/ping HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n

with receive string OK monitor 2

GET /solr/SPRUAT_Slave/admin/ping HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n

with receive string ok

Any special reason you don't want to define a 2nd pool?

That I am aware of there is no way to "call" a monitor from a iRule and check the results.

no - no special reason have defined the irule as

when HTTP_REQUEST { switch -glob [HTTP::uri] { "/solr/SPRUAT_Slave*" {pool mhf_pool_172.16.250.72-slave} default {pool mhf_pool_172.16.250.72-80} } }

no - no special reason have defined the irule as

when HTTP_REQUEST { switch -glob [HTTP::uri] { "/solr/SPRUAT_Slave*" {pool mhf_pool_172.16.250.72-slave} default {pool mhf_pool_172.16.250.72-80} } }

Ok its not working traffic is not going to pool pool mhf_pool_172.16.250.72-slave when i do the following.

Note I have a monitor setup for as sol_uat_slave where send string is

GET /solr/SPRUAT_Slave/admin/ping HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n

and recieve string is OK

^C$ telnet 172.16.250.72 80 Trying 172.16.250.72... Connected to 172.16.250.72. Escape character is '^]'. GET /solr/SPRUAT_Slave/admin/ping HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n

03allsolrpingqueryfalseOK Connection to 172.16.250.72 closed by foreign host

Here is my full config

ltm pool /Finance/mhf_pool_172.16.250.72-80 { members { /Finance/172.16.197.204:22750 { address 172.16.197.204 priority-group 1 } /Finance/172.16.197.204:22760 { address 172.16.197.204 } } min-active-members 1 monitor /Finance/sol_monitor

sol_monitor is 

ltm monitor http /Finance/sol_monitor {
defaults-from /Common/http
destination *:*
interval 5
recv OK
send "GET /solr/SPRUAT_Master/admin/ping HTTP/1.0\\r\\n\\r\\n"
time-until-up 0
timeout 16

ltm pool /Finance/mhf_pool_172.16.250.72-slave { members { /Finance/172.16.197.204:22750 { address 172.16.197.204 } /Finance/172.16.197.204:22760 { address 172.16.197.204 } } monitor /Common/sol_uat_slave

my irule is

 ltm rule /Finance/sol_irule {
when HTTP_REQUEST {
switch -glob [HTTP::uri] {
    "/solr/SPRUAT_Slave*" {pool mhf_pool_172.16.250.72-slave}
    default {pool mhf_pool_172.16.250.72-80}
}

} }

Does the pool members for mhf_pool_172.16.250.72-slave show as up?

You may want to add:

log local0. "The URI passed was [HTTP::uri]" 

to the iRule just before the switch. That way you can verify that the URI is what you expect.

OK fixed the irule as

when HTTP_REQUEST { log local0. [HTTP::uri] if {[string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/solr/spruat_slave" } { log local0. "matched [HTTP::uri]" pool mhf_pool_172.16.250.72-slave }

   }

But now I am trying add a OR statement and getting syntax error

01070151:3: Rule [/Finance/test_sol] error: /Finance/test_sol:3: error: [parse error: PARSE syntax 190 {syntax error in expression "([string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/solr/spruat_slav...": unexpected operator &}][{([string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/solr/spruat_slave") || ([string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with “/sol”) }]

when HTTP_REQUEST {

   }

Instead of using the double vertical bars (||) try using the word "or".
