The directions say to put it in /config/eav but the F5 insists it be in /usr/bin/monitors

 

Once I put the script there

 

I added the following name/value variables in the GUI

 

CAUCHOPORT=4000

 

POOL=cwmp.stage.443

 

URI=/caucho-status

 

P_TIMEOUT=5

 

and the following argument

 

curl -fNs -m ${P_TIMEOUT} http://w50-$i.c50.2wire.com

 

 

I set the alias service port to 4000

 

 

I changed the script to match the F5 example here

 

then

 

echo "UP"

 

else

 

bigpipe pool ${POOL} member ${IP}:${PORT} down 2>&1 > /dev/null

 

fi

 

but it makes no difference

 

The members are shown as red and down

 

Not sure what I am dong wrong
