SOAP Response New to F5 - iRules

...

and use the LB::status command to check the pool member status: http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/LB__status.html Click Here

Hi Duffy,

You can use HTTP::respond to send an LTM generated HTTP response.

http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/http__respond

Here is an example:

HTTP::respond 200 content {http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/soap/fault urn:uuid:318bb7b9-8ca6-4f9c-a094-a82f82109fc1 s:Sender The application is temporarily down for maintenance. " } noserver Cache-Control private Content-Type {application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8} Server {Microsoft-IIS/7.5}

If you're on 9.4.1 or lower, you won't be able to use the noserver flag to suppress the LTM inserted "Server: BigIP" header in responses.

To check if the pool has no active members, you can use active_members:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if {[active_members [LB::server pool]] == 0 }{
      HTTP::respond 200 content \
         {http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/soap/fault urn:uuid:318bb7b9-8ca6-4f9c-a094-a82f82109fc1 s:Sender The application is temporarily down for maintenance. " } \
         noserver \
         Cache-Control private \
         Content-Type {application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8} \
         Server {Microsoft-IIS/7.5}
   }
}

I wonder why we can't use LB::status "pool_name" to get the status of the pool as well as individual members... I think I'll ask for an RFE CR as it seems logical to me.

You can get this indirectly in GTM with the pools command, which returns a list or count of the pools in a particular color status. That might be a better namespace than LB::status as I take that to be a decision-based target of some sort, rather than a collection of targets. My $.02. Regardless of what it's called, that's a valuable bit of information and makes a lot of sense for enhancement.

Hi All,

Thanks for your help so far originally I asked for this to be sent as the SOAP response.

How do I get the following sint in the SOAP response?

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Cache-Control: private

Content-length: 610

Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8

Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5

X-AspNet-Version: 4.0.30319

http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/soap/fault urn:uuid:318bb7b9-8ca6-4f9c-a094-a82f82109fc1 s:Sender The application is temporarily down for maintenance. "

s:Sender

 

 

 

The application is temporarily down for maintenance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can you clarify your question? Can you also put the code you want to return inside the [ code ]

 

Thanks, Aaron

Thanks for all your help guys this has been resolved.
