CSS reporting if service goes down

[jbonaccitomax]

If I have two servers load balancing this port and we use a monitroing tool. We are not notified since one of the servers work. Is there a way to configure the CSS to notify if this service goes down. servers 10.10.245.14 and 10.10.245.15.

content 8080
    vip address 10.10.247.10
    protocol tcp
    port 8080
    add service les14-8080
    add service les15-8080
    flow-timeout-multiplier 1125
    advanced-balance sticky-srcip
    sticky-inact-timeout 300
    active

Hi Jerrod,

When a service goes down, the CSS will generate a message in the syslog and send an SNMP trap (if snmp is enabled). You can use these two to get notification of a service failure.

Alternatively, instead of monitoring the virtual IP, you could configure your monitoring tool to check the status of the real IP addresses of the servers instead.

Hi Jerrod,

We're now using "logging sendmail service_alerts@my_domain critical-2", but also experimented with RMON traps for our SNMP manager thus:

"rmon-event 22

owner WEB

type log-and-trap

community

description "Service Transition"

active"

"rmon-alarm 22

owner WEB

sample-variable apSvcTransitions

sample-type absolute

rising-threshold 1

rising-event 22

sample-interval 5

falling-event 22

falling-threshold 1

active"

Hope this helps!

Andy.
