NimbostratusHelp on Health Checks
Hello,
I am using F5 LTM to load balance our syslog servers. I would like to implement a health check to verify that syslogd is running on the remote host (Linux). I would appreciate any ideas that someone may have. My first thought is to ssh to the box and check for the syslogd process, but I am not sure of the best approach for this.
Any ideas or help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I don't think this is related to iRules, you won't be able to establish tcp connection from an iRule
a standard monitor wouldn't be enough ?
if you want to make a script that would ssh and the check the syslogd deamon you will need to create an external monitor to do the job
Chris_18327Thank you. You bring up a good point. I will move this post to the monitors post.
