I set up the http monitor without transparent and it was up but I'm not seeing any logs on the firewall or the monitor. From my understanding I would expect to see logs from the F5 to google.

 

I've then set up transparent with ip address of 193.105.162.85 and port 80. Once I set up transparent the monitor goes down and still not seeing any hits on the firewall from the bluecoat or the f5.

 

I logged on to the command line utility and and did a telnet to port 80 which was logged in the firewall so I know it dns is functioning and the f5 has route to get there.

 

First off, Hamish's post about having done this before was spot on...pretty cool.

He brought up a great point about the format for monitoring through proxies. Might be worth trying this instead for your monitor. That could very well explain the issues when changing to transparent.
