Health monitor to multiple websites

Hi, very new to F5, so please bear with with.

 

I have a pool with four members and all of them host the same multiple websites. I've been asked to set up a health monitor so if one of the websites goes down on one member, the F5 will stop serving connections to that member for that particular website (make sense?).

 

Can you advise how this is achievable?

 

Many thanks Alex

  • If you are trying to have a single Virtual Server serving traffic for four different websites then I would look to setup four Pools, one per website, with a simple HTTP or HTTPS monitor per pool.

    Then in your virtual server you need to create a

    Local Traffic Policy
    forwarding traffic to the correct Pool based on HTTP Hostname and/or HTTP URI.

    See the following for examples of
