When you add a generic server and give a monitor to it, its a monitor which is for the virtual servers in it. So the status of the generic server comes from the status of the virtual servers configured inside it.

 

Before you add the virtual server, make sure its reachable from your GTM. Else it would be down.

Try basic ping and tcp checks with the Ip you are planning to put.

 

In case you are planning to put the NAT'ed IP, the NAT IP would traverse through a firewall, you may need to whitelist the source IP of the GTM which does the probing, else it would block it.
