To alert when Tomcat services go down

Tomcat services were in hung state in W01 server and query is why it doesn't diverted the traffic to secondary web-server: W02 which is mapped into the pool ?

 

did health monitor work (i.e. did it mark server down)?

 

if not, have you configured receive string in the monitor?

 

But as tomcat services are basically into port 8080

 

you can specify port when creating health monitor (i.e. port is not needed to be what pool member is listening).

 

By any Irule or by addditionally adding the member servers as: W01:80 W02:80 W01:8080 W02:8080 ?

 

no special configuration is required (i.e. translate-port will be enabled by default when creating host virtual server).

 

Hi,

 

No Health monitor didn't worked it seems,it doesn't marked the member as down. Bcoz the listening port of the member is 80 while Tomcat services are running into port 8080 by default.

 

And health monitor currently used is TCP only? So, is http customized monitor suggested ? with Send and Receive String ?

 

Whether HTTP can monitor both 80 and 8080 ?

 

Thanks and Regards Parveez

sol2167 explains how to construct http send string. the receive string can be any string in response. you can test http monitor by using tool such as telnet, curl, etc.
