Hi community,

Another interesting questions were raised during object model discussion
about how pool statistics and health monitoring should be used in case of
multiple vips sharing one pool.

Right now we can query statistics for the pool, and some data like in/out
bytes and request count will be returned.
If we had several vips sharing the pool, what kind of statistics would make
sense for the user?
The options are:

1) aggregated statistics for the pool, e.g. statistics of all requests that
has hit the pool through any VIP
2) per-vip statistics for the pool.

Depending on the answer, the statistics workflow will be different.

The good option of getting the statistics and health status could be to
query it through the vip and get it for the whole logical instance, e.g. a
call like:
 lb-vip-statistics-get --vip-id vip_id
the would result in json that returns statistics for every pool associated
with the vip, plus operational status of all members for the pools
associated with that VIP.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Thanks,
Eugene.
