Monitor Logs do not show which pool it is referring to

...we're way off topic for this forum...

 

I heard a rumor we were going to add a monitoring forum soon, for which this would be a perfect topic.

 

 

What you need to do is modify the sample script to use an input variable POOL which you would configure when you create the monitor in the LTM configuration, then add an "else" to the status check "if" clause that would log a more explicit message including the value $POOL. Some documentation on external monitors: Click here (although you will be specifying a variable, rather than an argument to the script. In the GUI, if you go to Local Traffic / Monitors and create a new monitor of type External, you'll see where to specify the name / value pair.)

 

 

F5 Networks Consulting (consulting@f5.com) can be engaged on a billable basis to assist with development of custom scripted external monitors.
