How to setup external monitor with extended ping?

Hi Aron,

 

I tried with this external monitor script:

 

node_ip=`echo $1 | sed 's/::ffff://'`

 

pidfile="/var/run/`basename $0`.$node_ip..$2.pid"

 

if [ -f $pidfile ]

 

then

 

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

 

fi

 

echo "$$" > $pidfile

 

ping -I `awk 'BEGIN {RS="}\n";FS=RS} /^self 153.88.99/ {print $1;} ' /config/bigip_base.conf |head -1|awk '{print $2}'` -c 1 -W 1 &node_ip | grep rtt

 

if [ $? -eq 0 ]

 

then

 

echo "UP"

 

fi

 

rm -f $pidfile

 

exit

 

------------

 

Note, I replaced "node_ip" with "&node_ip" in the ping command line, is that right?

 

Pool members are set with port 389 and external monitor can either set a specific alias port or all ports, I've tested both, and unfortunately, it still doesn't work - all pool members are dtected down.

 

Any idea?

 

Thanks!
