Manually re-add a member to a pool, after failing a health monitor

We have a request to have a health monitor do an http send string and expect receive string. The odd part of the request is the app guys want the box permanently removed from the pool when it fails...

What they are asking for is pretty easy to configure (I would advise them to think hard on doing this though...if all of the servers in the pool take a hit for some reason, then your site / application will be down until the servers are manually put back into service).

 

 

Local Traffic -> Monitors

 

 

Create Monitor -> Name Monitor

 

 

Manual Resume - Set to Yes.

 

 

Specifies whether the system automatically changes the status of a resource to Enabled at the next successful monitor check. If you set this option to Yes, you must manually re-enable the resource before the system can use it for load balancing connections.

 

 

No: Specifies that the monitor does not operate in Manual Resume mode.

 

 

Yes: Specifies that the monitor operates in Manual Resume mode.
