Wide IP status calculation

The wide ip is a top level object that has no monitor directly attached. Therefore, it relies on a child object (pool) which itself relies on a child object (pool member, which in the case of GTM, is a virtual server on a BIG-IP or for non-F5 technology, a VS on another LB or just a server) to be available for a green status. Hopefully this table will help:

Status Status Definition

Available General: Child Monitor successful

General: Parent At least one child is green

Child - Node Most recent monitor successful

Pool Member most recent monitor successful

Pool At least one pool member is available

Virtual Server At least one pool is available

Unknown General: Child No associated monitor (or timeout of first check not reached)

General: Parent All child objects are unknown

Node No associated monitor (or timeout of first check not reached and not successful)

Pool Member No associated monitor (or timeout of first check not reached and not successful)

Pool All pool members are unknown

Virtual Server All pools are unknown

Offline General: Child Monitor failed

General: Parent At least one child is red and no green or yellow children available

Node Most recent monitor failed (no successful checks within timeout period)

Pool Member Most recent monitor failed (no successful checks within timeout period)

Pool One or more members are offline and no members are available

Virtual Server One or more pools offline and no members available
