Node connection limit and alert

Hi Daniel,

 

If you have equal connections going to all four pool members then you could simply track the total connections on the virtual and block from there rather then disable a pool member.

 

 

The irule I had in mind is the following

or

For alerts you can go to the following

And if you want to generate a message based on a custom log event, refer to SOL3727:

I hope this helps

You could configure this by setting connection limits on the pool members under Local Traffic >> Pools >> Pool name >> Members >> member IP:port >> Connection Limit.
