Default monitor on node (node list shows unknown) caused pool monitor down.

Hi all,

 

I found that the node can set default monitor for nodes, however once i set it, it will cause the pool monitor down... I removed the default monitor and then the pool becomes normal again.

 

Could you please advise?

 

Thanks in advance!

  • The default monitor associated with nodes are ICMP. And the pools will also have some monitor associated with it, usually if the services is running - the member will be marked up and inturn marking the pool available.

     

    Removing the default monitor should not cause any impact on the pool, because pool also has a monitor configured in it.

     

    Can you please share your config, showing what monitor is configured in pool.

     

  • What is the status of the node when you enable the default node monitor??

     

    The member status in a pool is a combination of the pool monitor and the node monitor. Both need to be up to mark a pool member as up.

     

    In older software versions the default node monitor was set to icmp, newer versions don't have a default node monitor.

     

    My advice would be to not use a monitor on the node's.

     

    Cheers,
