Cisco ACE Health probe

[networker99]

Currently we have a Cisco ACE 4710 doing a lookup for an image on a website to determine whether the site is available or not.  Is there any way to get the ACE to query the server (probably using SNMP) and failover if the server's processor stays above 90% for more than 5 minutes?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

You can configure SNMP based probes for checking processor utilization. You need to know OID's of the processor and that should be do it. I would suggest looking at the config guide for more details. Haven't done it myself. I am not sure about the time frame of 5 minutes but you can configure a threshoold limit crossing which probe will fail.

there is an example in the configuration guide :
