DESCRIPTION
You can use the prober-pool component to configure prober pool definitions on the Global Traffic Manager. You
use prober pools to control which BIG-IP servers on your network are utilized by GTM to monitor the up/down
state of GTM resources. Once defined, prober pools can be set to monitor whole data centers or individual
servers.
EXAMPLES
create prober-pool my_pool members add {
bigip-dallas
bigip-london
}
Creates a Global Traffic Manager prober pool with two members bigip-dallas and bigip-london. Members are
selected using the global-availability load balancing method.
delete prober-pool my_pool
Deletes the prober pool my_pool.
show prober-pool
Displays statistics for all prober pools.
list prober-pool my_pool
Displays settings of prober pool my_pool.
OPTIONS
app-service
Specifies the name of the application service to which this prober pool belongs. The default value is
none. Note: If the strict-updates option is enabled on the application service that owns the object, you
cannot modify or delete this prober pool. Only the application service can modify or delete this prober
pool.
description
User defined description.
glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob for a description of glob expression
syntax.
load-balancing-mode
Specifies the load balancing mode that the system uses to select members of this pool. The default value
is global-availability.
The options are:
global-availability
Specifies that the Global Traffic Manager selects the first available pool member in the order in
which they are listed.
round-robin
Specifies that the Global Traffic Manager selects members using a circular, sequential pattern among
available pool members.
members
Specifies the BIG-IP server names of the pool members. The default value is none.
You can also use the following options with prober pool members:
app-service
Specifies the name of the application service to which this prober pool member belongs. The default
value is none. Note: If the strict-updates option is enabled on the application service that owns
the object, you cannot modify or delete this prober pool member. Only the application service can
modify or delete this prober pool member.
description
User defined description.
[enabled | disabled]
Specifies whether this pool member is available to issue probes. The default value is enabled.
order
Specifies the order number of the pool member. The system uses this number with load balancing
methods that involve prioritizing pool members by listed order.
name Specifies a unique name for the component. This option is required for the commands create, delete, and
modify.
regex
Displays the items that match the regular expression. The regular expression must be preceded by an at
sign (@[regular expression]) to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help regex for
a description of regular expression syntax.
