Monitor last error status code

Hi All,

 

We recently moved from ACE to F5 and wanted to check on last error code received for monitor? In ACE we have command 'show probe detail' which shows when last time probe failed and what was the reason (if it is tcp it shows connection refused or if it is http/https it will show http error code e.g. 404 etc). But in case of F5 I am not able to find any command which can provide all the information. I found one command i.e. 'show ltm montor ' which just show the time and in error it shows connection refused. So wanted to check if there is any command which provide last http/https error code received?

 

Thanks

    Not exactly the same as the last status on the ACE, but if the monitor is currently failing, you can use tcpdump to see what's happening. This is not helpful to determine the reason for a failed monitor when it is UP again though...

    you can enable debug information by setting bigd.debug to enable:

    tmsh modify sys db bigd.debug value enable

    Just make sure to set it back to disable when you are done viewing the monitor details.
