Monitoring Google Search Appliance

Hi st0n3,

 

 

That seems like a reasonable solution.

 

 

The monitoring daemon, bigd, appends one or two carriage return pl;us line feed characters (\r\n) to the send string, depending on the LTM version you're running. So it's possible by configuring two \n's to the end, bigd is actually sending three. You can check this by running a tcpdump and filter on the pool member IP address and port.

 

 

Also, you can tell the pool member to close the TCP connection by using an HTTP/1.1 request:

 

 

HEAD /search?q=bigip&site=default_collection&client=default_frontend&output=xml_no_dtd&proxystylesheet=default_frontend HTTP/1.1\r\nConnection: Close\r\nHost: \r\n
