Problems with irule "Pool_Member_Status_Page_on_a_Virtual_Server" after migrating to Bigip LTM v10.0.1 HF3

Hi t.mantel,

 

 

Replacing $::pool_member_status_list with [class get pool_member_status_list] should do the trick.

 

 

 

Bhattman

thanx, I'm going to test this and let you know if it worked.

Hi Bhattman,

 

 

thank you for advise and help. I've updated the irule at both units and checked our according cron entry.

 

Everything seems to work fine now, so replacing $::pool_member_status_list with [class get pool_member_status_list] was helpfull.

 

 

have a nice day.

 

 

best regards,

 

 

Toby

Happy Thanksgiving

Maybe Bhattman can help with this adaptation: in my world my developers love this view but pool names don't mean much to them, virtual server names do. Can you point me in the right direction to be able to add a higher level of information to the output to include Virtual Server names too, as in:

 

 

Virtual_abc --- UP -- Pool_node_1 -- 10.10.10.10 -- 80

 

Virtual_abc --- DOWN -- Pool_node_2 -- 10.10.10.11 -- 80

 

Virtual_xyz --- UP -- Pool_node_1 -- 10.20.20.20 -- 80

 

etc.

 

 

I've been grasping for straws, looking for a way to issue a bigpipe command from within the iRule to assocate pool names to each pool name that gets parsed out in your most excellent script. If I could, I'd also try to add some simple statistics (like current connection counts found in "b virtual all").

Hi DB,

 

I have been thinking about that for sometime now, as one of my clients asked about this. I figure I would need to build a iControl script that would output the information I need to run the pool status. I just haven't sat down and wrote it yet.

 

 

Bhattman

Seems like it might be easier to give them readonly access to the GUI and have them use the network map and/or stats pages. Or if you want to customise it you could use iControl like this and add the connection info:

PerlLocalTrafficMap - This application will replicate the network map functionality found in the BIG-IP management GUI with a perl console application.

 

 

PsLocalTrafficMap - This application will replicate the network map functionality found in the BIG-IP management GUI with a PowerShell console implementation.

Hi Folks,

 

 

we solved this by using a local file where we store nodenames like the /etc/hosts at unix/linux systems, and source this file within the irule

 

 

set nodelist [class get node_screen_name_list]

 

 

have a nice day

Hi Toby,

 

Is this local file manually updated or automatically updated when a VS and pool is added?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Bhattman

 

Hi,

 

 

we do updates to this files manually because usally our nodes and hostnames don't change very often.

 

we did a grep for some services like dns which we want to monitor ... code is from a internal developer ...

 

 

We got a cronjob at /etc/cron.daily which does ...

 

 

-----------------------------

 

 

!/bin/bash

 

 

LOG=/tmp/cron_pool.$$.log

 

failoverstatus und syncstatus bestimmen

 

folgender befehl sollte entweder standby oder active liefern

 

STATE=`b failover show | awk '{print $2}'`

 

folgender befehl liefert eine '0' wenn im SYNC oder 1,2 oder 3 wenn nicht im Sync

 

SYNC_VORHER=`b config sync show | grep Status | awk '{print $2}'`

 

 

if [ "$STATE" = "active" ]; then

 

erzeugen der neuen Listen

 

echo "Erzeuge vorlaeufige Pool- und Node-Liste" >> $LOG

 

b pool all member all -n | grep -i " ACTIVE" |egrep ":25|:80|:110|:53|:995|:7210" | awk '{print "\""$3"\","}' | sort >/var/class/pool_member_status_list.class.tmp

 

b node all screen | awk '{print "\"" $2 "/" $6 "\","}' > /var/class/node_screen_name_list.class.tmp

 

 

CHK='gleich'

 

achtung diff liefert exitcode 0 bei gleichheit

 

if ! diff /var/class/pool_member_status_list.class.tmp /var/class/pool_member_status_list.class >> $LOG ; then

 

CHK='pool'

 

elif ! diff /var/class/node_screen_name_list.class.tmp /var/class/node_screen_name_list.class >> $LOG ; then

 

CHK='node'

 

fi

 

if [ $CHK = 'gleich' ]; then

 

echo "keine Aenderungen, nix zu tun [$CHK]" >> $LOG

 

else

 

echo "Es gibt Aenderungen [$CHK]" >> $LOG

 

mv /var/class/pool_member_status_list.class.tmp /var/class/pool_member_status_list.class 2>>$LOG >>$LOG

 

mv /var/class/node_screen_name_list.class.tmp /var/class/node_screen_name_list.class 2>>$LOG >>$LOG

 

in jedem Fall laden, denn ich bin ja auf dem aktiven System

 

echo "Lade neue Config" >> $LOG

 

b load 2>>$LOG >>$LOG

 

 

wenn die Config auf der aktiven Maschine geaendert wurde

 

auf den Peer syncen. Der Sync transferriert auch die

 

gerade neue erzeugten class-Files

 

ABER nur, wenn vorher gesynct war

 

if [ "$SYNC_VORHER" = "0" ]; then

 

echo "synce $SYNC_VORHER" >> $LOG

 

b config sync all 2>>$LOG >>$LOG

 

fi

 

fi

 

else

 

echo "ich bin standby -> Listen werden nur auf aktivem erzeugt und dann gesynct" >> $LOG

 

fi

 

exit 0

 

 

---------------------------

 

 

and the class file looks like

 

 

/var/class/pool_member_status_list.class

 

 

"admin_A/192.168.10.100:53",

 

"admin_B/192.168.10.112:53"

 

 

the /var/class/node_screen_name_list.class

 

 

"192.168.10.100/none",

 

"192.168.10.112/none"
