iRule to restart a server (pool member) when marked down

Hi Thales,

 

 

The functionality that you are describing would best be contained within the Server Health Check and not an iRule.

 

 

iRules are event driven, so a client would have to hit the Virtual Server that the iRule was applied to and then the iRule would have to trigger an event like actvive_members in order to detect the status of the pool members.

 

 

You can always submit a feature request to F5. I can see where it would be something useful...

 

 

Hope this helps.

You could configure an external monitor that could connect to the server and restart it when the monitor fails.

Ok. In case of a get eav (https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/AdvDesignConfig.HTTPMonitor_cURL_BasicGET.ashx), how could i connect to the server and send this command?

Thales,

 

 

in the example you provided linux command:

 

curl -fNs http://${IP}:${PORT}${URI} | grep -i "${RECV}" 2>&1 > /dev/null

 

is used.

 

 

Unfortunatelly you can't reboot the server useng "curl".

 

You would have to create script in ie. bash which will login to the server and perform reboot.

 

 

 

Pawel.
