Pool Member Status and how QTYPE works?

NetSnoopy · ‎10-Jun-2020

Hello,

i wrote a small Irule for show the Pool Member status as json.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "f5_status.XXXX.com" } {
        #update Poollist, enter Pool names
        set poolname "P_X_http80 P_XX_http80 P_XXX_https6443" 
        #update RootPartition for replacement
        set stringmap "\"%1234 \" \"\:\""
        set poolnummer 1
        set json "\{\"status\"\:\{\"time\"\:\"[clock format [clock seconds] -format "%Y-%b-%dT%H:%M:%S %Z"]\","
        foreach pool_n $poolname {
            set list_all ""
            set list_up ""
            set list_down "" 
            set member ""
            set member_l ""
            foreach member [members -list $pool_n ] {
                set member_l "[string map $stringmap $member]"
                append list_all "\"$member_l\","
            }
            set member ""
            set member_l ""
            foreach member [members -list $pool_n ] {
                if { !([active_members -list $pool_n ] contains $member) }{
                    set member_l "[string map $stringmap $member]"
                    append list_down "\"$member_l\","
                }
            }
            set member ""
            set member_l ""
            foreach member [active_members -list $pool_n ] {
                set member_l "[string map $stringmap $member]"
                append list_up "\"$member_l\","
            }
            set count_a [active_members $pool_n]
            set count [members $pool_n]
            set count_d [expr {$count} - {$count_a} ]
            append json "\"pool$poolnummer\"\:\{\"name\"\:\"$pool_n\",\"member count active\"\:$count_a,\"member count down\"\:$count_d,\"member count all\"\:$count,\"member active\"\:\[[string trimright $list_up ","]\],\"member down\"\:\[[string trimright $list_down ","]\],\"member all\"\:\[[string trimright $list_all ","]\]\},"
            incr poolnummer
        }
        set json [string trimright $json ","]
        append json "\}\}"
        HTTP::respond 200 content "$json" "Content-Type" "application/json"
    }
}

But i found that new implementation

#v12 change to include QTYPE
members [-list] [QTYPE] <poolName> [blue green yellow red gray]

https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/irules/members.html or https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/irules/active_members.html

Anyone know how this work or have a working irule with this "qtype"? I would like to see a example!

Hi,

The QTYPE param is exclusive for GTM pool and used on GTM iRules.

When not defined, QTYPE has "A" as the default value.

Note: GTM does not support the -list option

e.g.

https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/irules/DNS_REQUEST.html

when DNS_REQUEST {
  # Changed = = 0 to < 1 for CR100063 / SOL10137
  if { [active_members pool_test] < 1 } {
    cname "something.domain.com"
  }
}

# Similar
if { [active_members A pool_test] < 1 } {

Regards.
