NimbostratusBIG-IQ: how to change interval checks for health status of pools and poolmembers
Greetings,
yesterday I noticed that the BIG-IQ does take its sweet time to notify the user of a failing healthcheck. In my case I noticed that the poolmember went down at 04:20 PM (source LTM log) at the BIG-IQ informed me via GUI at 04:24 PM with the message that the poolmember went down at 04:20PM
I'm guessing that the BIG-IQ checks the LB for health status in an interval. Looks like a value between 3 to 5 minutes.
Does anyone know how I can lower the interval so the user in BIG-IQ gets notified more sooner than 3-5 minutes ?

Hi Paul3
No, BIG-IQ does not provide an option to configure in the GUI or REST API to change the polling interval for health status checks of pools and pool members. The delay you observe (3-5 minutes) is due to the internal polling interval that BIG-IQ uses to collect health status from managed BIG-IP devices.
