Pool availabilty percentage alerting

Hi Steve,

 

 

I think SNMP polling from a management station would be the most efficient way to do this from an LTM perspective. You could check each pool's total count and available member count every X seconds or minutes without much of a performance hit on LTM.

 

 

Else, if you wanted to implement the logic on LTM, you could write a script that checks each pool for active % of members and run it from cron. Or you could use an iRule which checks the percentage using [active members] / [members] and send a custom log message which triggers an SNMP trap.

 

 

But again, doing this type of management alerting off box makes the most sense to me.
