NimbostratusNumber of defined nodes in a pool
Is there a way in irules to determine the number of defined nodes in a pool. I'm trying to automate syslog notification when a pool is getting low on nodes. The number of active node is good but I need the context of how many nodes are in the pool. I would take a different action if I have 3 or 20 nodes active then I would if I have 3 out of 4 nodes active.
thanks

Bret_McGinnis_1Until something like "configured_members" is available, is there a less manual way to provide this information? Something I can code in an iRule, even it I have to run the iRule at specific intervals. It doesn't have to be pretty.
Regards,- Unfortunately there isn't currently a command to return the number of nodes defined in a pool, just to return how many are currently active, as Deb stated above with the active_members command.

Roger_Oliver_78As Deb said above works great. However i was going to add a question to it. And me being a newb have to ask. I don't want this check to happen everytime a request is made to my vip so how do I do it so that it happens say every 2 mins?
