HTTPS Monitor: monitor other hosts than Pool-Member

[kgaigl]

Hello,

I have a Pool with Servers:

app1.com.int

app2.com.int

but for application health I need to check come strings on backend-servers:

man1.com.int

man2.com.int

how could I realise something like this?

thanks for any hint.

Hi kgaigl,

You could use External monitor (EAVs : External Application Verification) to do your monitoring, refer below F5 articles for more details :

This doesn't really require EAV monitor, this can be achieved with Alias address or Alias port feature that's already present.

Yes it's also a possibility that I hadn't thought about 😉

thank's to all, but I've got the info, that manX is just the management-interface of the same server, so the server-admin tries to open the health-check on the appX-interface.

but one question about alias-address:

isn't it so that if I enter the alias-address(es) fot the manX interface, the helth-check on ALL alias-addresses have to be ok?
