APM Monitor

We have a number of APM devices monitored by GTMs using the bigip monitor. This works fine for checking the health of the devices, however if a backend AAA server to the APM fails, the status is still green. The result is that users are served an APM that they cannot log in on. Is there a monitor that can test APM with an actual login, like there was for Firepass?

    Hello, you can create a basic HTTP monitor with authentication. what you have to implement is an irule to detect the health check, based on user agent, or IP adddress, and for this health check deactivate the redirection mode from APM (redirect to /my.policy for auth) with the following irule code :

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    HTTP::header insert "clientless-mode" 1
}
