I've been using the MIB provided by Stingray to attempt to monitor when a bandwidth class is reaching its cap but I'm not having much luck. The values returned by bandwidthClassBytesOutLo.IOD seem to be the total value of bytes output. If I look at the graphs in the admin interface for a particular class it shows me exactly what I want. How I can replicate this so I can alert & report on it via snmp? ... View more

We are new to traffic script and just planning out our deployment of some Stingray devices. I'm looking to see if I can easily create and attach a unique ID in roughly the same way as mod_unique_id works on apache (see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_unique_id.html). In apache they use the time, local I, pid and a counter local to the thread. I don't mind how this is achieved, except that it must contain some uniqueness for the individual Stingray (a management IP address?) and some uniqueness for the request (pid, epoch and counter seem to make sense). As such I imagine I'd be doing something like this: $pid=sys.getpid(); $epoch=sys.time(); $counter=counter.increment(1) $ip=request.getLocalIP(); $id= string.base64encode($epoch) . string.base64encode($ip) . string.base64encode($pid) . string.base64encode($counter); http.removeHeader("UniqueId"); http.addHeader( "UniqueId", $id ); Except I don't think I can extract the counter like this. Is there already a built in way of generating a unique id that I'm missing, or is there some other way of better doing this? ... View more

I usually use a htaccess file on my app server to redirect everyone but my ip to a maintenance.html page ....

Can IP transparency be implemented when using SSL passthrough? Our environment passes X_CLUSTER_CLIENT_IP when using http, but not when using SSL since we are not performing decryption within Stingray. So will IP transparency solve the problem? And can it be implemented without SSL decryption? ... View more

I have a bunch of web servers serving an internal intranet. I would like to configure a health monitor that makes a connection to the machine, and effectively logs onto the web server by passing in the NTLM authentication credentials. If this check is OK, then the server remains in the pool; if this check fails 3 times in a row, server is removed from the pool. How can I do this? ... View more

I have a new install of Stingray and just noticed the following error: The event log says:   Having a look in Global settings, it seems that it only references java -server .
