Logging virtual server state event up or down

Hi All,

 

 

I'm having a bit of curiosity, i can see a log at /var/log/ltm when a pool or pool member up/down.

 

 

 

May 22 14:46:53 slot1/lb01 notice mcpd[5902]: 01070638:5: Pool xxxxxxxx member /Common/10.2.203.130:5057 monitor status down. [ was up for 0hr:1min:15sec ]

 

 

 

 

But i cannot find any log when a Virtual server state is up or down. Is it just me or there isn't any event like that? or is there any way to create the event?

 

 

 

Thanks

 

 

 

Fadhil

    The virtual itself shouldn't ever be down unless you disable it. There is an ltm log entry when all members of a pool go offline, and if this pool is the only resource for the virtual then it is essentially down.

    Hope that helps,

    HI John,I have one question . I was working on one issue found tha VIP has 2 nodes , showing inactive,down but nodes were still taking traffic .Once i disabled the node manually , then they stopped taking traffic.

     

     

     

    Any reason behind this ?

     

     

     

    Thanks,

    showing inactive,down but nodes were still taking traffic do you know if it was existing connection before node was marked down?
