Health check via URL
Hi, Wanted to setup a load balancer which can check the health of a node based on the URL (not by pinging just host and port). For example: The LB should check the following URLs and if the HTTP response is 200 (OK) and the response text contains keyword as “PASS” then that particular node is good otherwise don’t send any request to that node. https://mysite.com:22301/ws/healthmonitor https://mysiteb:22301/ws/healthmonitor
monitor to turn off pool member if http response is 501 or 502 0r 503
Hi Friends, Following is the path to be used in GET field "/monitoring/health.svc" The monitor is expected to turn server offline only when http response code is 501/502/503. Please help me configuring the send and receive string for the monitor in standard format. I am running 10.4 version LTM Thanks
OpenText EIM Redirect Issue
I am trying to setup a VIP for a OpenText EIM solution. I have a standard vip for port 443. However, the server keeps doing a redirect for another FDQN. So in this case, I am putting in https://content.companya.com and the browser is getting redirected to https://servera.host.local (the domain name for the server itself). If I go to the FQDN of the server itself (servera.host.local), it works fine. According to OpenText, this is an issue with the OpenText Directory Services (OTDS) as the this is the expected behaviour as during the installation of OTDS, it is required that we have to use the FQDN and use certificates that have been created against that hostname of the server. A reverse proxy must be used to translate requests between different top-level domains. So what type of iRule do I need to setup to make the translation work?Enterprise Manager VS Big IQ
I used to be under the assumption that BigIQ was replacing Enterprise Manager, but I am not sure that is the case. What is the the real differences between the products because they seem to have overlapping feature sets and I am not sure why one customer would pick one appliance over the other. I see that there are different options (or maybe modules) for BigIQ, but I have no idea what its purpose is in relation the EM.
Upload QKviews to Internet via PROXY
Hello, I am trying to use the new function in V13 on F5 to upload the qkviews to ihealth. As we use a proxy for internet access I set it up with the: tmsh modify /sys db proxy.host value 10.x.xx.xxx modify /sys db proxy.port value 80 modify /sys db proxy.protocol value http We do not use authentication from this host. So user & password were not set. We tried access with a curl on the CLI to www.google.com and it worked fine. We get the following errors on the GUI qkview: Your device may not have access to the Internet. Verify that you can access api.f5.com and ihealth-api.f5.com and try your upload again. I do not see any traffic on a capture of this. Am i mssing something ? Thx in advance, Luc
Service unavailable when analytics is enabled
Dears's I already deployed F5 Big IP LTM 1600 at a client premises to load balance traffic between 2 HTTP servers running the apache tomacat services on a Linux platform. Everything is running properly until i activate the analytics service (adding the virtual server), at this moment all the clients faces a huge slowness and can’t connect to their application. The F5 version is 11.2 with SNAT enables, no SSL or compression are activated on this hardware. Note that the CPU is 10% and the RAM is 50% when the analytics service is activated, the hardware normal throughput is 4 MB a peak hours. (Reference Dashboard). I need to know why the service is degraded whenever analytics is active. Regards; Antonio
What thresholds can be used to monitor memory utilization of LTM
Hi, We have 10 LTM boxes installed in our environment of model number 1600/3400. Currently running on 10.2.4 build 577 version. We are facing some memory issues. So we are planning to monitor the memory utilization of boxes. We have nagios in our environment. We did configure those monitors but not looks good. Can you please let me know what threshold should we use to monitor memory for warning and critical. It’s based on: UCD-SNMP-MIB::memIndex.0 = INTEGER: 0 UCD-SNMP-MIB::memErrorName.0 = STRING: swap UCD-SNMP-MIB::memTotalSwap.0 = INTEGER: 1048568 UCD-SNMP-MIB::memAvailSwap.0 = INTEGER: 8544 UCD-SNMP-MIB::memTotalReal.0 = INTEGER: 4060876 UCD-SNMP-MIB::memAvailReal.0 = INTEGER: 29948 UCD-SNMP-MIB::memTotalFree.0 = INTEGER: 38492 UCD-SNMP-MIB::memMinimumSwap.0 = INTEGER: 16000 UCD-SNMP-MIB::memBuffer.0 = INTEGER: 1152 UCD-SNMP-MIB::memCached.0 = INTEGER: 200056 UCD-SNMP-MIB::memSwapError.0 = INTEGER: 1 UCD-SNMP-MIB::memSwapErrorMsg.0 = STRING: Running out of swap space (8544) Regards, Ganesh
