monitoring external file via IRules

Hi trx,

 

 

Someone else asked a similar question some time ago here: http://devcentral.f5.com/Community/GroupDetails/tabid/1082223/asg/50/aft/1178691/showtab/groupforums/Default.aspx

 

 

I would suggest that rather than doing this with an iRule, why don't you use Health Monitors and Priority Activation Groups?

 

Put all servers in a single pool (assign Priority Groups if desired) and add a custom health check that will look for the "Active" return of a get to "/zbc.tx".

 

 

If they do not pass the health check they will be marked down and traffic routed to the other servers. Rather than an all or nothing with a pool of servers you would be able to do them individually and still maintain a preference between A and B Servers.

 

 

Just a thought.

 

 

Hope this helps.
