HTTP health monitor using iRule

Hi Prasad,

 

An iRule cannot do monitoring activities. If you have setup monitors much like Aaron (Aka Hoolio) had stated then perhaps the next step is to log into the LTM at the shell level and run a couple of commands

 

 

You can use the telnet command to connect to the pool member and test each server IP address with the site URL that you are using as a monitor. For example:

 

 

telnet

 

 

Next, at the prompt enter an appropriate HTTP request line and HTTP headers, hitting Enter once after each line. For example:

 

 

GET /abc.asp HTTP/1.1

 

Host: abc.com

 

Connection: close

 

 

 

GET /123.asp HTTP/1.1

 

Host: 123.com

 

Connection: close

 

 

 

GET /xyz.asp HTTP/1.1

 

Host: xyz.com

 

Connection: close

 

 

 

This should simulate what each monitor should see as it polls the website.

 

 

I hope this helps
