Monitoring GTM / DNS Pools for consistency across multiple LTMs

Hi community. I have been trying to work out the best way to check my Wide-IP configuration is consistent across multiple LTMs. I have a WIP, that contains a pool, that contains 2 LTM VIPs in 2 DCs...

mlwebster I am not aware of a way to force the GTM to check consistency amongs VSs on the LTMs. This might have to be one of those situations where you have a runbook that specifies when messing with X make sure you do the exact same change on Y. If you had a BIG-IQ it would make it slightly easier to validate but still would be manual. You might consider automation to add in new pool members to both destination LTMs in question.

Paulius thanks for the feedback.   I do have a BIG-IQ but take your point that it is still a manual process.

I'm happier with new VSs on LTM as they are largely automated, its more tweaks and changes to existing VSs where my concern comes from - we all forget to check things every now and again.
