Mar 24, 2010Help with pool member select based on SOAP query
Hi,
I'm trying to write an iRule and/or external monitor. Need to send the client requests to the server with lowest number returned from a SOAP request. The problem is that that monitors return either up or down. I need a number to evaluate.
Basic flow:
1) client sends HTTP post/get to BigIP
2) BigIP queries all pool members with a SOAP post and expects a number returned
3) BigIP send the client request to the pool member with the lowest number returned in step 2.
Ideas?

Hi,
You're correct that a monitor would just mark the pool member up or down--not affect the load balancing weight. We discussed some options for a similar scenario in this post:
Load balance based on backend connections
