Great! This was a great help in getting all of the OID's that I needed. Just
have
one more to source out, if it's available.
I made a script that takes a pool name and lists the node members. I can
look
at other OID's to see if the node member status is up, down, in maintenance
mode, etc.
However, is there an OID for each node member that I can look at which will
tell me if the node is being considered as an "active" node by BigIP. What I
mean by this is that we have some pools with 2 node members, each one
having a different priority level. One is priority 10 and one is priority 5
so the
priority 5 node is only used when the priority 10 node is down or has too
many connections.
In this scenario, the priority 5 member is "active" but is not receiving any
traffic. Is there a way to determine using an OID when this node member
starts being used by the load balancing algorithm.
Thanks.
Chris.
