MSSQL Monitor

I am new to the BigIP LTM world. The question I have is there a way to add some logic into MSSQL monitor to perform certain task depending on what is return from a query of my system events database? Or will I have to write a script to perform if/ then /else logic.

 

The scenario is depending on the alert that is contained in my event database the LTM will perform a certain type of failover base on what is returned from the query.

    I wonder if you could use alertd to call a script if a specific log message is seen. See this inconclusive thread for details:

     

     

    Generic command in user_alert.conf

    You could then potentially configure an MSSQL monitor and use alertd to call a shell script when a failure is detected. I haven't tried this before as I just found out you can call a script from alertd. If this sounds like it could work for you, you might try opening a case with F5 Support to find out about this 'exec command=/path/to/script.sh' functionality. If you do get more info, can you reply here or in the other post?

     

     

    Thanks,
