ECV setting

Hi,

 

 

I have few questions regarding ECV integration on F5 boxes:

 

 

If we suppose the ECV is connected to script.sh:

 

 

1- When creating the monitor, shall we give the variables as $1 and $2 on the box "Arguments" or are the arguments passed automaticly ?

 

2- When creating the monitor, on the "External Program box", shall we give name of the script bor the full path + the name ?

 

3- Shall the ECV script be located on /usr/bin/monitors/builtins ?

 

4- Which profile runs the script ? root ? admin ?

 

5- is it possible to force the shell on the "External Program Box" to some think like "sh script.sh" since it looks that F5 does not recognize the /bin/sh on the header of the script

 

 

Thanks in advance for any hint.

 

 

Kind Regards
