BigIP Report Old

The normal setup is to have one DeviceGroup with multiple Device entries, where one of the Device entries is active and one is standby. For example:

<DeviceGroup>
  <Name>lb-prod</Name>
  <Device>lb-prod-a.example.com</Device>
  <Device>lb-prod-b.example.com</Device>
  <StatusVip>https://lb-prod-status.example.com</StatusVip>
</DeviceGroup>

This will index if either A or B is currently active, and it will not index the standby device. Note: IPs can be used instead of dns names. I prefer DNS names. 🙂 The DNS or IP entry can be the management address, or a self ip with services enabled. If you use a float ip, indexing should work, but the device overview tab will not show the standby device(s).
