NimbostratusHelp needed with monitor associations
Hello all,
I am trying to use Python to script a way to associate existing custom monitors with certains pools only during certain hours. I am able to use b.LocalLB.PoolMember.get_monitor_association() to see a member's monitor but i'm having trouble with b.LocalLB.PoolMember.set_monitor_association() to associate a monitor with a pool.
Am I using the right function to accomplish this? Could someone be so kind as to post an example of what would have to be done to make this work?
Thanks!

Take a look at the function Associate-MonitorWithPool() on this page:

Event though it's powershell, it should still give you a good sense of how to do things.
Chris_82142Thanks for the reply. I will do some digging and see if I can get this to work. So, it seems that there isn't a way to simply associate an existing monitor to a pool by name? I will have to define the rule type, quaorum etc... every time I change the association?
Thanks again for the help!
- Tim_K_92675That depends on the Member Type definitions as they relate to what you're trying to accomplish...

Sorry, I don't quite follow. If this monitor already exists and all I want to do is change its association with a pool then why do I have to define all of these options? Aren't these already defined when the monitor was created? I feel like I should be able to just associate it based purely on the health monitor's name and the pool name. If I do a get_monitor_association then it returns the following:
I[[(LocalLB.PoolMember.MemberMonitorAssociation){
member =
(LocalLB.MonitorIPPort){
address_type = "ATYPE_EXPLICIT_ADDRESS_EXPLICIT_PORT"
ipport =
(Common.IPPortDefinition){
address = "1.1.1.1"
port = 80
}
}
monitor_rule =
(LocalLB.MonitorRule){
type = "MONITOR_RULE_TYPE_SINGLE"
quorum = 0
monitor_templates[] =
"HTTP_80",
}
}, (LocalLB.PoolMember.MemberMonitorAssociation){
member =
(LocalLB.MonitorIPPort){
address_type = "ATYPE_EXPLICIT_ADDRESS_EXPLICIT_PORT"
ipport =
(Common.IPPortDefinition){
address = "1.1.1.1"
port = 80
}
}
monitor_rule =
(LocalLB.MonitorRule){
type = "MONITOR_RULE_TYPE_SINGLE"
quorum = 0
monitor_templates[] =
"HTTP_80",
}
}]]
Really, all I want to do is add a monitor_template to the rule.
Thanks again for the help!
