NimbostratusCustom FTP Monitor
Hi all,
I want to create passive ftp load balancing on F5, but there is a problem about it.
If i create a custom monitor associated with ftp pool, monitor status is down and no traffic to the pool member. But i changed the health monitor to default tcp, pool & VIP are up and process the traffic.
Do you have any idea about why custom ftp monitor is not working ?
Regards. These are the custom ftp monitor settings ;
Name My_Ftp_Monitor Partition / Path Common Description Type FTP Parent Monitor ftp Configuration: Interval seconds Up Interval Time Until Up seconds Timeout seconds Manual Resume Yes No User Name Password Path / Filename Mode Alias Address * All Addresses Alias Service Port * All Ports Debug

You need to specify a path and filename.
The FTP monitor downloads the file to test the server is working.
Seckin_149390Could give me an example about this ?
for example, my username is F5 and its password 123456Wq.

The option Path / Filename must contain a file on your server the F5 can download. If its in a subdirectory then you must include that as well.
Just specify a very small file for it to download.

Hi,
As i understand, my path must be like this, \192.168.1.58\ftp\F5\test.txt or only test.txt ?

No no... the path should be unix style without the host pieces.
If the directory is ftp/F5 and the file is test.txt then you should use
/ftp/F5/test.txtYou should be able to test this yourself by logging into the FTP server and then
cd /ftp/F5 get test.txt- Seckin_149390Only test.txt works as well :)
