Tracking triggers in an iRule

Hi Kenny,

 

 

I don't think there is anything special you're doing in the iRule which would trigger a load balancing failure and the LB_FAILED event to run. You can check the LB_FAILED wiki page for details on when this event is triggered:

If this happens frequently, you could try capturing a tcpdump of the client and serverside traffic to see if the pool member is in fact not responding to LTM SYNs. For details on using tcpdump, check SOL411:
