status code http monitor

Hey all!

 

Is there any way the status code from an HTTP Monitor to get out without tcpdump?

  • Can you elaborate? An HTTP monitor isn't going to return any data, other than to mark a pool member up or down. If you want to troubleshoot an HTTP monitor, tcpdump is indeed the best way to do that.

     

  • For example: I want to see if a pool member status 200 or another status returns

     

  • A monitor can look for different status codes to base its up/down decision, so you could configure an HTTP monitor to mark nodes up if the response is a 200 and down if not. But it isn't going to report back to you, other than node up/down status what the server returned. You could use an external monitor with cURL and have that response logged, but again if you're just troubleshooting a monitor, your best bet is still tcpdump.
