[Pound Mailing List] poundctl command simply do not work

2013-06-18 Thread Brad Allison
I'm trying to use the -b option for poundctl to disable a backend. The command runs with the three fields listener service and backend. The command appears to work. But when I list out the -X option it says all backends are enabled... even though I just disabled it. So the options for poundctl

From the man page: Alive value Specify how often Pound will check for resurected back-end hosts (default: 30 seconds). In general, it is a good idea to set this as low as possible - it will find resurected hosts faster. However, if you set it too low it will

I just checked with my installed pound 2.5 branch and enabling/disabling backends for both global and listener specific services work for me. And I know it works, because I have a perl based web interface wrapped around it. However my poundctl looks more than a little different, because I’m run

Okay. Now using -1 for the listener I see the backend server is listed as status="DISABLED". So that part worked. But I also see traffic is still being sent to that server and hostname keys are still pointed to that server. I also see in the pound.log that it's still sending request to that "DI

Because you’re using session affinity, and you still have active sessions attached to that host. A backend can be Alive or Dead. It can also be Enabled or Disabled. Enabled means it can receive new connections. (connections not in our session database) Disabled means it cannot receive new conn

2013-06-18 Thread D. R.
Hi Brad, according to the pound documentation you are facing the correct behaviour. pound still directs Requests to the disabled backend, but only if this client is still in the routing table of pound. So all new Requests should be forwaded to the non-disabled backends. Kind regards David Am 18.

Or you could implement a HAPort script to mark the backend dead. Or you could use poundctl to delete the sessions. Or you could edit svc.c… Search for BE_DISABLE in the CTRL_DE_BE block, and change it to BE_KILL. Once upon a time I wrote a perl script to parse the xml output from poundctl and

Brad, for example look here: http://linux.die.net/man/8/poundctl *-B/-b n m r* Enable/disable a back-end. A disabled back-end will not be passed requests to answer. Note however that existing sessions may still cause requests to be sent their way. We do the same like Joe said: shut

I was looking at the options and I can't see a way to mark a backend server as dead. For now I've just been stopping apache on the server to make pound see it as dead. Another question: If a server is marked as "DISABLED" does pound still check it for availability? Meaning does pound still ping

Poundctl doesn’t let you mark something as dead,unless you change the line I mentioned in the last email. However, marking a backend as disabled and using the flush patch I just posted would accomplish the same result. As for checking for availability, are you talking about HAPort or Alive? Al
