NimbostratusKickoff process by accessing a webpage
Hello,
Is it possible to have my LTM running 10.2.4 access a special webpage once it sees a pool down via an iRule or some other method? But, I don't want to route users to this webpage. This special webpage will kickoff some back-end processes to move the DB function to another data center. My GTM would then also update DNS to move traffic to my other data center at the same time.
Thanks for any help!

Absolutely, and there a bunch of ways to do this. The easiest is probably to trigger a script that does a cURL request to your webpage. You can use a user_alert.conf configuration to define the error message(s) to look for to trigger the script. Take a look at this article:
