SNMP Monitor DCA Simple True/Green Red/false

I imported a script and did an external monitor check. I created an external monitor (https://devcentral.f5.com/s/articles/ltm-external-monitors-the-basics) with the variable PREFERRED_STATE=1 and a script. Here is the script:

-----

#!/bin/sh

# remove IPv6/IPv4 compatibility prefix (LTM passes addresses in IPv6 format)

# OID i3IcGenSwitchoverRole = 1.3.6.1.4.1.2793.2.1.5.0

# Preferred States Numbers

#1 = NotApplicable because the Server is not in a Primary/Backup configuration.

#2 = Primary

#3 = Backup

#4 = Failed

OID="1.3.6.1.4.1.2793.2.1.5.0"

NODE_IP=`echo ${1} | sed 's/::ffff://'`

NODE_PORT=${2}

PIDFILE="/var/run/`basename ${0}`.${IP}_${PORT}.pid"

# kill of the last instance of this monitor if hung and log current pid

if [ -f $PIDFILE ]

then

  echo "exceeded runtime needed to kill ${IP}:${PORT}" | logger -p local0.error

  kill -9 `cat $PIDFILE` > /dev/null 2>&1

fi

status=$(snmpwalk -v 2c -c Genesys $NODE_IP $OID| awk '{print $4}')

if [ $status = $PREFERRED_STATE ]; then

 echo $status

fi

rm -f $PIDFILE

exit
