way to list pools?

Hi Chris,

 

Here are some steps to see if it will work

 

 

1. What you can do is create directory etc/cron.daily/

 

2. Create the file pool_member_status_list.cron

 

3. Populate it with

 

 

!/bin/bash

 

 

b pool all member all | grep pool_ | awk '{print "\""$3"\""}'> | sort >/var/class/pool_member_status_list.class

 

 

Only performs a b load when it's on the active unit.

 

if [ "`/bin/ps1`" == "Active" ]; then

 

b load

 

fi

 

 

exit 0

 

 

4. Make sure you make it a executable script by "chmod +755 /etc/cron.daily/pool_member_status_list.cron"

 

 

4. add the following entry in the crontab

 

0 1 * * * root /etc/cron.daily/pool_member_status_list.cron >/var/log/pool_member_status_list.log 2>&1

 

 

Then run "pool_member_status_list.cron" script so that it's initially created.

 

 

I hope this helps

Can you add the following into crontab

 

 

 

SHELL=/bin/bash

 

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

 

MAILTO=""

 

HOME=/

 

 

run-parts

 

01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly

 

02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily

 

22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly

 

42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly

Does this work if you manually run pool_member_status_list.cron?

The other thing to check is what is your output when you run the command: b pool all member all ?

 

 

I seem to remember that 9.3 has some differences in the outputs of b pool than 9.4 and that may be causing the issues.

I'm using this irule and it works fine. But, I removed a few pools and now they show up as Invalid. Is there a way to keep them from displaying? I checked the pool_member_status_list.class file, they no longer show up there. But, for some reason, they're still displayed on the html status page.

Hi Milo,

 

After the pool_member_status_list.class was updated did you remember to perform a b load on the active unit? That will update the class object which is being loaded up into memory.

 

 

I hope this helps

 

 

Bhattman

Thanks.

 

 

I was doing a b load. But I didn't run the b pool list command afterwards to update the external file. Thanks again for your help and the quick response.

Thanks for the Irule and the script.It is indeed a very good information.

 

 

I have the similar requirment.some of my clients want to see the pool status in realtime.

 

 

So, i feel this cron job will run only once in a day.if a specific pool is down after the cronjob (script) execution, then the client will be viewing wrong information i.e pool is up.

 

 

How do we handle this?How do we get the realtime status of the pools?
