I am new to the F5 lbs. Need some help here. My requirement: To create port based health check of the 3rd party servers. I have the following details: 1>IP and PORT of the servers whose health needs to be checked 2>Send and Receive string provided by the vendor

 

I would like to create irule to check the health. Please advise.

 

Thanks

    Shakeeb,

     

    You don't need to create an irule for this, a custom monitor will do. Just create a new monitor and base it off a parent profile e.g. tcp or http and add the relevant send and receive strings here.

     

    Hope this helps,
