syslog pool keeping the virtual server UP

Hello,i have an I rule that does message based load balancing and we also have an HSL statement in it set hsl_1 [HSL::open -proto UDP -pool HSL_Syslog_Pool]

 

the issue is when the pool that is allocated to virtual server - "client_prod_pool" goes down meaning no pool members available ,the virtual server still remains available because the HSL pool is available. my question is what should I change in the HSL setting in the irule for the virtual server to go down in case the pool allocated to the VS is not available. thanks

    SOL14505 should help answer the question.

     

    SOL14505: The BIG-IP system may erroneously mark a virtual server as available when the associated pool status is offline
