LB_Failure logging?

Hi JC,

 

Take a look at the following

 

"set name [LB::server name]"

 

"[LB::status pool $poolname member $name $port]"

 

 

The part where I believe it's failing where you trying to pass variable name into a statement that won't except names.

 

 

Try the following:

 

 

Replace

 

set name [LB::server name]

 

with

 

set ip [LB::server addr]

 

 

Replace

 

"[LB::status pool $poolname member $name $port]"

 

with

 

"[LB::status pool $poolname member $ip $port]"

 

 

Hope this helps

Thx cmbhatt! still no luck same error exists:

 

 

when LB_FAILED {

 

set poolname [LB::server pool]

 

set ip [LB::server addr]

 

set port [LB::server port]

 

if { [LB::server name] eq $poolname } {

 

log local0. "All servers in pool $poolname down."

 

}

 

elseif { [LB::status pool $poolname member $ip $port] eq "down" } {

 

log local0. "Member $poolname is down."

 

}

 

}

What could be causing this...

I think I see where the problem is

Try this

 
 when LB_FAILED {  
  set poolname [LB::server pool]  
  set ip [LB::server addr]  
  set port [LB::server port]  
  if { [LB::server name] eq $poolname } {  
      log local0. "All servers in pool $poolname down."  
  } elseif { [LB::status pool $poolname member $ip $port] eq "down" } {  
       log local0. "Member $poolname is down."  
  }  
 }  
 

I pasted it right into the LTM and still same error...Is there maybe another irule which will give me the same result but config differently? We are trying to generate a log that displays the name of the pools and servers that are down or unavailable? Thx!

when LB_FAILED {

 

set poolname [LB::server pool]

 

set ip [LB::server addr]

 

set port [LB::server port]

 

if { [LB::server name] eq $poolname } {

} elseif { [LB::status pool $poolname member $ip $port] eq "down" } {

 

log local0. "Member $poolname is down."

 

}

 

}

it's very odd. It should work. Have you tried removing "member" from "LB::status pool $poolname member $ip $port", based on what the TCL error output is suggesting? or try replacing "member" with "node"?

How are you adding the iRule to the F5? The web interface, or via iRuler?

 

 

We had a problem a while ago where an iRule was added via the web interface by someone just copy/pasting into it, and a non-visible character made it into the iRule and caused all sorts of weird problems. Is it possible that something like that is happening? Maybe the code you're seeing is fine, but some non-visible character is getting added?

I used both the web and irule editor and it produces the same error. I also tried using node instead of member but same error. I'm beginning to think that it's my 9.4.3 code, hopefully someone out there has a an answer or workaround to use...Thx!

 

 

I think you are right. I just tested this for the first time and it works. I don't have any LB on the v9.4 branch so I can't be sure if the entire branch is effected or a just v9.4.3. Nothing in the F5 knowledge base points to a known issue. You could contact F5 support to find out it's in their special knowledge base.
