Hi,
Can you post an anonymized copy of the virtual server and udp profile configuration using 'b virtual VIP_NAME list' and 'b profile UDP_PROFILE list'?
For monitoring UDP services, it's ideal to use a UDP monitor in combination with an ICMP monitor:
SOL6143: UDP health monitor operation
https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/6000/100/sol6143.html
So the UDP monitor checks for an ICMP unreachable message to determine whether the service is down. If the monitor receives no response, it assumes the member is up. So it's ideal to use the UDP monitor with an ICMP monitor to ensure the service is marked down if the node address isn't responding to an ICMP request.
