CirrostratusScripted monitoring
We have a requirement for a new kind of monitoring for a database application.
Two pool members are actively listening on all ports. The customer is requesting a monitor that will
1) authenticate using a username/password to one pool member
2) execute a sudo command referencing a script on the box.
3) Then, based on the return code being a 0 or 1, send the traffic to one pool member or another.
ZukeFollowing the steps listed in the article, I created a script in /usr/bin/monitors.
However when I create the script in that directory, chmod to 755, I still don't see it on the GUI. I get an error when I try to add it and specify the path.

Because the correct path is /usr/bin/monitors/custom_monitor.bash. For instance, the command is
# modify ltm monitor external custom_monitor run "/usr/bin/monitors/custom_monitor.bash"
