Opened: Oct 27, 2020

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

When you double-monitor a Generic Host Virtual Server using the same monitor, the 'Reason' is omitted from the output: -- Output of 'tmsh show gtm server <server> virtual-servers' shows a "blank" reason for monitoring failure/success. -- If double-monitoring at pool level, the output of 'tmsh show gtm pool <type> <pool> members' shows a "blank" reason for monitoring failure/success.

Impact

Impedes your ability to identify the failure/success reason quickly.

Conditions

-- Using the same monitor at virtual-server level and pool level AND/OR: -- Using the same monitor on two different pools (when monitoring the same virtual-server)

Workaround

-- Do not use the exact same monitor on both the virtual server and the pool level. -- If double-monitoring at pool level, do not use the exact same monitor to monitor the same virtual-server on multiple pools.
