Traffic control based on file on pool member

Hi,

 

 

What protocol is the file accessible over?

 

 

Do you want the second pool member load balanced to if the file does (or does not) contain some content?

 

 

Could you use HTTP to access the file contents?

 

 

If LTM can access the file via HTTP, you could configure an HTTP monitor which marks the pool member up or down based on the file contents.

Hi Aaron,

 

 

the server cannot listen on http only on the specific protocol.

 

I asked the DBA to create a database which will include the content he wants me to check for.

 

I will configure LTM to use MySQL to query the database for that content.

 

 

DBA do not want to load balance this traffic, They want the ability to control traffic based on the content of the new database

 

 

The query shoule look like the following:

 

 

select status from test.switch where hostname = 'servername' and instancename = 'server-51';

 

 

and result will be -> YES or NO

 

 

if YES keep connection to server 1

 

if NO switch connection to server 2
