NimbostratusHow to prevent server host name to appear in the health monitor receive string
Hi,
I am using a send string inside a health monitor to monitor the status of the pool members. The receive string on server is configured as ON, but when the server is in maintenance mode the LB shows the server host name and the receive string as ON. How can I prevent the server host name to appear in the health monitor receive string ?

swapnil_89332It shows a message when the VIP is accessed and if the server is kept in maintenance mode by enabling the string. "server hostname": ON I don't want the server name to be disclosed.- When or where exactly is the server name shown?
- swapnil_89332When the VIP is accessed through browser it shows as below Load balancing management 1. "Server Host Name" : ON (ON is the string configured on the server ) every time the VIP is accessed, the server host name changes to the next member in the pool as per the LB method.
- So you have this: A pool, with two servers. "Server A" and "Server B". They are both monitored by a http monitor, with send string like "/healthcheck.txt" and receivestring "ON". You change the receive string in /healthcheck.txt to "OFF". Then when you access the vip you get a reply that says: "Server A : ON"? /Patrik
- swapnil_89332You are absolutely right Patrick. My customer wants that the server name "Server A" in this case should not be revealed while accessing the VIP. Can this be done some how ? Swapnil
Hi!
I don't believe this is default behavior. Is the healthcheck file the default file on the web server or do you have any iRules executing a response like that?
Can you see the server being disabled in the pool when you set the receive string from ie, "ON" to "OFF"?
