Getting the configured members of pool in iRule

Hi Dave,

 

 

As you've found, there isn't an iRule command that will return a list of all current members of a pool, regardless of state. You could use a shell script called from cron which populates a datagroup with all of the pool members and then reference that from an iRule.

 

 

Here is a related post for this:

If you think it would be useful to have an iRule command which returns all pool members, you could open a request for enhancement case with F5 Support. It seems like it would be useful to have such a command for this scenario as well as answering questions like 'what percentage of servers in a pool are up?'.
