Hi Thales,

Aaron, i´ve read this article.

 

 

My question is: how to link an EAV monitor to send emails when the pool member is marked down?

 

 

Thanks

If you're using an external monitor (i.e. a script), then you can just use the mail command to send an email. Or you can make it more generic and use the alert system to send emails based on the messages logged in the logfiles (As Aaron said above).

Hamish, in the following code, if i put an else statement containing

 

email toaddress=""

 

fromaddress=""

 

body=""

 

would it work?

 

 

code:

 

remove IPv6/IPv4 compatibility prefix (LTM passes addresses in IPv6 format)

 

IP=`echo ${1} | sed 's/:

 

PORT=${2}

 

 

PIDFILE="/var/run/`basename ${0}`.${IP}_${PORT}.pid"

 

kill of the last instance of this monitor if hung and log current pid

 

if [ -f $PIDFILE ]

 

then

 

echo "EAV exceeded runtime needed to kill ${IP}:${PORT}" | logger -p local0.error

 

kill -9 `cat $PIDFILE` > /dev/null 2>&1

 

fi

 

echo "$$" > $PIDFILE

 

 

send request & check for expected response

 

curl -fNs http://${IP}:${PORT}${URI} | grep -i "${RECV}" 2>&1 > /dev/null

 

 

mark node UP if expected response was received

 

if [ $? -eq 0 ]

 

then

 

echo "UP"

 

fi

 

else [

 

email toaddress=""

 

fromaddress=""

 

body=""

 

]

 

fi

 

 

rm -f $PIDFILE

 

exit

Figured this out.

 

 

Thanks
