set monitor state

I am trying to set a pool member monitor state to disabled. I think that I am very close with this code:

 

 

private void SetMonitorState(string pool, string memberaddr, long memberport)

 

{

 

string[] pool_names = new string[] { pool };

 

LocalLBPoolMemberMemberMonitorState[][] monitor_states;

 

monitor_states = new iControl.LocalLBPoolMemberMemberMonitorState[2][];

 

monitor_states[0] = new LocalLBPoolMemberMemberMonitorState[1];

 

monitor_states[0][0].member = new iControl.CommonIPPortDefinition();

 

monitor_states[0][0].member.address = memberaddr;

 

monitor_states[0][0].member.port = memberport;

 

monitor_states[0][0].monitor_state = CommonEnabledState.STATE_DISABLED;

 

 

m_interfaces.LocalLBPoolMember.set_monitor_state(pool_names, monitor_states);

 

 

}

 

 

I get a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error on the line -

 

monitor_states[0][0].member = new iControl.CommonIPPortDefinition();

 

 

I would be very grateful, if someone could point out my mistake.

    You are close. You haven't allocated a value for the monitor_states[ 0 ][ 0 ] value. This should work for you: 

    private void SetMonitorState(string pool, string memberaddr, long memberport)   
 {   
   string[] pool_names = new string[] { pool };   
   LocalLBPoolMemberMemberMonitorState[][] monitor_states;   
   // Allocate a 2-d array   
   monitor_states = new iControl.LocalLBPoolMemberMemberMonitorState[ 1 ][];   
   // Allocate the first dimensions value to a 1-d array of size 1   
   monitor_states[ 0 ] = new iControl.LocalLBPoolMemberMemberMonitorState[ 1 ];   
   // Allocate the value for the entry in the first element of the second dimension   
   monitor_states[ 0 ][ 0 ] = new iControl.LocalLBPoolMemberMemberMonitorState();   
   // Allocate the IPPortDefinition   
   monitor_states[ 0 ][ 0 ].member = new iControl.CommonIPPortDefinition();   
   monitor_states[ 0 ][ 0 ].member.address = memberaddr;   
   monitor_states[ 0 ][ 0 ].member.port = memberport;   
   monitor_states[ 0 ][ 0 ].monitor_state = CommonEnabledState.STATE_DISABLED;   
   m_interfaces.LocalLBPoolMember.set_monitor_state(pool_names, monitor_states);   
 }

    BTW, sorry for how the forum munges brackets followed by numbers. I'm going to have to track that down one of these days.

    Thanks again Joe!

     

     

    Regarding my post, "pool member forced offline", I see where my mistake was. I was using LocalLBPoolMemberMemberSessionState. What I really wanted was LocalLBPoolMemberMemberMonitorState. I suspect that I was not communicating clearly in the post.

     

     

    I'm very grateful for your help!!
