Ace Module logging rate limit

[jackwikinski]

Hi All,

I have tried to configure the above parameter but it doesn't seem to be working.

The version running on the ACE is 2.3.4 and I am running multiple contexts.

The below configuration was tried on one of the contexts, not being Admin.

The command I used was :

logging rate-limit 42 60 message 251010

What I am trying to achieve here is receive notification that a rserver has failed its connectivity check, therefore alerting the relevant people.

The issue I am encountering is that every second I receive all the alerts again.

I am only wanting to receive the alert once if possible and gain once the rserver has come back online.

Is this possible, if so please explain how I can do it?

TIA.

Jack.

your rate limit should be giving you 42 of those messages per 60 seconds. But this is health probe failure which depending on how many does not necessarily mean server is down. (depends on fail count). also it is level 6 message. the message you really want is:

Error Message    %ACE-4-442001:  Health probe probe name detected real_server_name 
(interface interface_name) in serverfarm sfarm_name changed state to UP

Explanation    The state of a  real server changed from down to up.

Recommended Action    None  required.

442002

Error Message    %ACE-4-442002:  Health probe probe name detected real_server_name 
(interface interface_name) in serverfarm sfarm_name changed state to DOWN

suggest you do logging at level 4  and you will only see the message when server state changes

Thanks I will try changing the logging level to 4 and see if it helps fix my issue.

Thanks for giving me the message id 442001 and 442002 it's working as needed now.
