Understanding Pool Monitors vs Node Monitors
We have set up a custom HTTP ECV monitor set for our pool that does a Send to a particular URL in our application and then checks for a particular string to match. Currently, there is just one node in the pool. The node uses the F5 supplied tcp_half_open to monitor the health of the node. I have 2 questions about this set up. 1) The ECV monitor does a GET to a particular URL in the application, but we do not see this request in our access log for the application. This leads us to believe that it does not work. Why don't we see the monitor GET in these logs? 2) When I try enabling logging of the pool monitoring on the F5, it doesn't log the pool health check (our custom ECV monitor), but only logs the node monitor, tcp_half_open. According to article K12531, I should be able to log the activities of pool monitor, but that does not seem to be the case. How can I log the activity of the pool monitor?
