Monitoring website with different header packets

can someone pls rely to thsi if the question is not clear i can explain more clearly

Hello,

 

 

It sounds like you have three virtual hosts running on the same IP and port, using host headers to differentiate which web application the request is for.

 

 

You can configure one monitor per HTTP host header that you want to check. If you configure the send string with the Host header, you can differentiate in the monitor between the three virtual hosts:

 

 

GET /path/to/file.ext HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: virtualhost1.example.com\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n

 

 

The Host header sent in this example is virtualhost1.example.com.

 

 

The receive string could be 200 or OK or HTTP depending on what headers/data your servers respond with.

 

 

For more info, you can check the reference guide on AskF5 for your version (). SOL3224 has some additional info as well ().

 

 

If this isn't what you're looking for, please explain further. I'm still a bit unclear about whether you want the other two virtual hosts to be left up if only virtualhost1 is marked down by a monitor.

Thanks aaron

 

 

I want the other hosts to be left up. I will try this solution and checkout

As of LTMv9, multiple instances of the same pool member can be independently monitored.

If I understand your requirements correctly, I think the best way to accomplish what you're after is to create 3 separate pools, all with the same members, and monitor each with a single Host-header specific monitor:

VS:80
  resource:  rule=pick_a_pool_by_Host_header
pool site_x
  member 10.1.1.1:80
  member 10.1.1.2:80
  monitor app_x (sends site_x-specific host header)
pool site_y
  member 10.1.1.1:80
  member 10.1.1.2:80
  monitor app_y (sends site_x-specific host header)
pool site_z
  member 10.1.1.1:80
  member 10.1.1.2:80
  monitor app_z (sends site_x-specific host header)

I just noticed you were posting in the v4 iRules forum: If you are using BIG-IP v4, there really is no way to monitor the pool members separately like this.
