so many nodes in bigtop

Hi Guys, we have close to 160 nodes and 50 VS. If we run bigtop is impossible to see all the nodes and VS.

 

 

Do you know if there is a way to show 1 VS with all the node members?

 

 

Thanks

  • I don't believe there is a bigtop that can show vip and nodes.

    You can place bigtop in -scroll mode but you would need to redirect the output and probably won't help you. bigtop -h will give you help.

     

     

    You can use the Linux "watch" command to give you a similar output to bigtop. I tested this on 9.4.7 and 9.4.6. For example:

     

     

    watch -n3 'b virtual show | grep "VIRTUAL \| (cur, \| MEMBER \| (cur,"'

     

     

    "" is the VIP you want to monitor. The syntax is important in this command. Just copy and paste to your command line changing the virtual. -n3 will refresh every 3 seconds. Control-C will exit out of watch.
  • Thank´s to all, the solution you mention can works, but is not easy with 200 nodes and 40 VS to monitor all the box.

     

     

    Do you know any solution can we use to monitor VS and nodes that send us alarms when some node fail?

     

    Thanks

  • If you want alerts based on the monitors, you could configure that. Try searching AskF5 for the network and systems management guide for your version. Or search this forum for email alerts, syslog-ng or snmp traps to get more info.
