pool_member_session_status in EventNotifications

Does the value for pool_member_session_status map to the LocalLB.SessionStatus? I have some event notifications going and here is the value I get for pool_member_session_status when the application monitor starts passing:

 

 

Name: pool_member_session_status Value: 1

 

 

The node is now up and is taking and processing traffic, but the documentation says that a value of 1 for LocalLB.SessionStatus is "New sessions are disabled."

 

 

Am I looking in the wrong place for that map?

 

 

Thanks!

    There isn't a direct tie. The values returned from the EventNotification interface are the core values returned from our configuration engine. For status, you should take 0 as disabled, and 1 as enabled.

    Hi,

     

     

    I sometimes see the value 3 for pool_member_session_status - what would that value signify?

     

     

    Also, what do the values mean for pool_member_monitor_status? E.g. a 7?

     

     

    The event notification feature could be very useful, but is there any documentation on what the various items and their values signify?

     

     

    Thanks,

    @Jason: Regarding session_status, look here for the all of info you're after:

    and for monitor_status, look here:

    Thanks, that's helpful.

     

     

    I was a bit concerned when Joe, above, indicated that there isn't a direct tie between the event notification values and the documented API constants, but hopefully they do usually/always match up. I'll go with that assumption for now, and update this thread if I notice any discrepancies.
