schedule maintenance?
Hello.
We are looking for a way to 'schedule maintenance' and have the LTM automatically remove pool members between X and Y time values. The key here is automation.
The way we are thinking of implement this is as follows:
- We already have a custom aspx for monitoring our websites.
- The aspx run on the web server (being monitored) and checks the database connections. If all is peachy, it replies with text ("successfull!")
- If the string 'successful' is matches in the http monitor, then the node is UP.
Simple enough. Works great. We love it.
Now, the creative thought today was 'could the f5 do different things based on that text?'
For example, what if we sent back 'maintenance' as the return string - is there a way to use that in an iRule?
Obviously the monitor is boolean so I do not expect to get this from monitoring, but anyone know of iRule logic to evaluate the input from a custom aspx?
