Nimbostratushow to pass the value from the F5 GUI external monitor variable to the external monitor script?
i get the error when adding the /usr/bin/monitors/ldapmonitor-1030237100-dsaID-variable to the f5 external monitor, it gives error: 01020066:3: The requested monitor parameter (ldapmonitor-1030237100-dsaID-variable 1 dsaIDvalue=) already exists in partition Common. I enter /usr/bin/monitors/ldapmonitor-1030237100-dsaID-variable to the external program field. In the variable name field, i added dsaIDvalue=1, and 2, the moment i click finish i get the above error. I made sure chmod 777 ldapmonitor-1030237100-dsaID-variable, still i get the error. how do i pass the value 1, 2, ....100 to the dsaID variable? am i doing this wrong? thanks for your help.

I believe the issue is that you can't have two variables with the same name. Are you trying to pass a range of values? How does that apply to the LDAPSEARCH command?
LARRY_55303yes, i was trying to pass a range of values. dsaID= 1, 2, 3 .... Since the F5 external monitor variable field not seem to take range of variable, i just implement that in a for loop within the external program.
Now i run into issue with F5's CPU% jump by 20%. prior to implementing this for loop, the cpu is steady at below 20%. after implementing the for loop, CPU jump steady to 40%. why would (16) simple for loops caused a spike in the CPU by 20%? reason for the 16 for loops is that we monitor 16 nodes. for each node, the for loop search 36 times starting with dsaID=1 to dsaID=36. i thought that would put a small load to the ldap database, but i don't know why the F5's CPU jump by 20%?
- LARRY_55303MaxDsa=36 for (( i=1; i <=$MaxDsa; i++ )) do ..... ********* !/bin/sh ; borne shell ********* i even try to put the sleep 0.1 or up to 1 second within the for loop, but i don't see the CPU utilization going down at all. "TOP" is only showing those monitors using like 1 to 4% of the CPU, not sure why that 20% jump in CPU activity and TOP show most of CPU utilization are by the "TMM".
- Kevin_StewartAre you certain it's the for loop and not the ldap calls? Have you commented out the ldap calls in the script to see if CPU usage goes down?
