Health Monitor for UNIX

Hi,

 

 

Which protocol(s) are you load balancing for the Unix servers?

 

 

The most efficient option from an LTM perspective would be to make the file available via HTTP and then use a stock HTTP monitor to check the file contents.

 

 

Or you could create a script which accesses the file via SSH or NFS and then call that script from an external monitor. Here's a template you could start with:
