health monitor to remove nodes from pool with no drian
Hello All,
We are running an F5 big IP 3600 series in front of a Windows web farm.
We are using automated deployments to each web node. In order to remove web nodes from the pool when deploying, I have setup health monitor that checks for the content of an .htm file on each node.
Send String
GET /maintenance.htm\n\n
Receive String
good
Receive Disable String
maintenance
This works well apart from active connections are still allowed, this means files are always in use etc.
I do not wish to wait for connections to drain or expire when this health monitor kicks in.
I would simply like to remove all connections and disable the node.
Any ideas how I can change this health monitor to do just this?
Kind Regards
