1 TopicGTM/DNS Not able to run simple external monitor?
Hello All, I've been struggling with this for some time and wanted to see if anyone else had any ideas. Scenario: We have a GTM/DNS VE to perform intelligent DNS resolution for generic hosts (IE, non LTM virtual servers etc). We have multiple Squid proxies in one location that we want to intelligently resolve IP's for. For example, we want all traffic to flow through proxyA in case it's down then start resolving proxyB. We figure would could send a command to probe a website on the internet through the proxy which will give us a bit more accuracy instead of a simple port monitor. For example reach out to www.google.com/robots.txt and expect to receive a 200 (or something similar) will ensure the proxy itself can reach the internet even though the port is still accessible to the internal clients. I have a curl command that does reach through the proxy and gets the response we're expecting but we can't seem to get that to work in monitor format. We continue to receive: Offline (Enabled) - Monitor /Common/proxy_mon from [self_ip] : state returned down The External Program: #!/bin/sh # These arguments supplied automatically for all external monitors: # $1 = IP (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn notation) # $2 = port (decimal, host byte order) # # This script expects the following Name/Value pairs: # HOST = the host name of the SNI-enabled site # URI = the URI to request # RECV = the expected response # # Remove IPv6/IPv4 compatibility prefix (LTM passes addresses in IPv6 format) NODE=`echo ${1} | sed 's/::ffff://'` PORT=${2} if [[ $NODE =~ ^[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}$ ]]; then NODE=${NODE} else NODE=[${NODE}] fi PIDFILE="/var/run/`basename ${0}`.sni_monitor_${HOST}_${PORT}_${NODE}.pid" if [ -f $PIDFILE ]; then echo "EAV exceeded runtime needed to kill ${HOST}:${PORT}:${NODE}" | logger -p local0.error kill -9 `cat $PIDFILE` > /dev/null 2>&1 fi echo "$$" > $PIDFILE STATUS=`curl-apd -x http://${NODE}:${PORT} https://${URL} 2>/dev/null` rm -f $PIDFILE if [[ "$STATUS" == "$RECV"* ]]; then echo "UP" fi exit The GTM Monitor: The GTM log just shows the same message as the monitor status on the member properties. We even tried to setup a simple monitor that simply does an echo "UP" so it shouldn't be reaching out through the proxy yet that still comes back with the same status. Any ideas on where else to look is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Luis528Views0likes1Comment
