I would like to get the code for gathering the number of users from you
if it is available.

         Thanks,

Hello Tom,
Added the setting of the ICON to the code for the Juniper SSLVPN pair.
To set the ICON:
	BB=/home/xymon/server/bin/bb
	BBDISP-127.0.0.1
	DEVICE=SSLVPN1 or SSLVPN2
	COLUNM="online"
	COLOR=green       for 'online'  server
           =clear       for 'offline' server
	MSG="<the message to show when you click the icon>"
	$BB $BBDISP "status $DEVICE.$COLUMN $COLOR `date`
	
	${MSG}
	
Nice idea: set the status to "clear" if a node in a cluster is inactive.

In this way there is no need to remember the previous state in the 
script, while a status change does not result in a warning or error 
message being sent.
FYI:  I found that the Primary server has all the information if you
do
an
	snmpbulkwalk -v2c -c public IP-of-server1 or 2 .1 >FILENAME
The size of the file is very large for the online server compared to
the
offline server.
I did the command above for both servers and then did a diff of the 2
files.
I then looked for the Virtual IP address using:  grep -I
"<virtual-IP>"
*
  
So the variable to be tested is  "ipAdEntAddr.<Virtual-IP>".
If you find a better alternative, please let me know.
  
No alternative yet found; I am glad that there is an easily accessible 
variable at all which contains this information.

Your idea's are now incorporated in my juniper (server-side) script, 
which started out as a measurement of the number of web users.

Hello Tom,

  
I am using a MIB check to verify that a device (in a set of HA 
devices) is the current one using the virtual IP address.

I can tell from my scripting that the device has switched to the
other
    
of the HA pair.

(A Juniper SSL-VPN pair).

I will be using NET-SNMP on the XYMON server to gather the info using
a crontab script.

    
Which MIB variable (OID) can be used to determine which device is the 
one using the virtual IP address?

Regards,
  Wim Nelis.
