AltocumulusIs it possible to create a Single Pool with multiple ports ?
AltocumulusThanks for your earlier response. I have a quick clarification regarding our design:
We want to configure a single pool with multiple backend servers, where each server listens on multiple ports. When creating a custom monitor, we need to specify a port number in the monitor configuration. My question is — if we configure an alias port in the monitor, how will it support the other ports which are not included in the alias port configuration?
On the VIP side, I understand that we can create a single VIP with multiple ports using the Port List option in the VIP configuration, which works as expected.
Could you please confirm the recommended approach for monitoring in this scenario?
You can either create separate pool and monitors and the use irule to select the appropriate pool or create multiple monitors with alias port and apply all of the same wildcard pool.
If you need to monitor all ports the best approach is to have separate pools and monitors. Because if you apply multiple monitors in one pool the pool will be marked down if any of the monitor fails.
