CirrusiRule or Custom Monitor that can be applied to a Server Pool, which can enable and disable an individual web site on a per server basis?
Is there an iRule or Custom Monitor that can be applied to a Server Pool, which can enable and disable an individual web site on a per server basis?
I had created a Custom Monitor to give my Share Point Server Team the ability to shut down any one of their servers for maintenance whenever necessary. Now they are requesting the ability to disable individual websites on Server A or B, so they can perform maintenance instead of taking the server down. Is this possible from an F5 perspective? I do not think so for LTM/APM, but i'm not sure??
I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to irules, but Im trying. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

There is no provision to call
command through iRule(for enable or disable). However you can achieve via iApp.TMSH
RiadSanchzWill I have to reconfigure my current iApp for Share Point 2016? I can't seem to find anything in the iapp questionnaire that states the manual ability to control the websites enable/disable status.

Sorry for late reply. Custom monitor(Send/receive String) is best option.

Hello f5_rock - Just tried running through a new iapp but I do not get a question under the SHarePoint2016 iapp asking me if I want to enable custom monitors.

If I understand, Sharepoint servers host multiple web sites, and you want to disable pool member for a web site on the server but not others.
To do that, create as many pool as websites with same pool members.
Then create a custom monitor for every website.
Finally, create a ltm policy to forward to right pool based on hostname!
