Individual Health Check Alerting

We run multiple health checks on our servers (most HTTP pulling different data) and when one fails we pull the server from the mix. We would like to get alerted on which monitor failed to cause the server to be pulled from the mix. The LTM only logs that the node failed a monitor and it was marked down. We are looking at creating an External monitoring script to do this where if it fails we would either get a syslog message, SNMP Trap, or email stating which monitor failed. I'm hoping someone may have already done something like this and might be able to provide some examples. I've seen the external monitor samples on here and I'm looking at using those and just expanding on them. If someone knows of a way to script in the external monitor a syslog message or even an LTM log message that would help.

  • Hi,

     

     

    You can enable a database key to instruct bigd to print the monitor name which failed when a pool member is marked down by running 'b db bigd.lognodestatuschange enable' from the command line.
