wide-ip status based on LTM pool, not virtual server status??

Hi guys,

 

I have a situation where one LTM virtual server doesn't have a default pool assigned but just an iRule that selects a pool based on HTTP headers. Usually in a configuration like this the status of the virtual server will always be up.

 

If I want to run GTM, how would the wide-IPs know the status of the application? can the wide-ip status be based on the LTM pool instead? can I base the wide-ip status only on monitors and not the status of the LTM virtual sever? how would such a scenario be configured?

 

application delivery
availability
BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM)
design
devops
iRules
security
TMOS

    by default, you could use bigip monitor on GTM. Commonly, wideip status based on gtm pool which based on gtm servers. You could specify a customize monitor on gtm and do the health check for that server object.

    Hi ipv6hermit, Did you find a solution for this? I also need to get the wide-ip based on the LTM pool instead of VS. If I assign an iRule to any LTM VS it will never go down.
