F5 LTM Monitor
Taking it ine by line:
port 8447
The port 8447 is only needed as part of the monitor if the pool member is not using port 8447, else you can ignore it.
faildetect 2
Cisco ACE probes uses a failure count but the F5 uses a timeout, so to get the same you need to set a monitor interval of 15 (the Cisco ACE default for http probes) and a timeout of 31 (2 x interval + 1)
ssl version all
Use the default HTTPS monitor cipersuite configuration
request method get url /path/file.html
The request (send) will be a HTTP 1.0 request from the ACE so you can use the following on the F5
GET /path/file.html HTTP/1.0
finally
expect status 200 200
In the receive of the monitor configure you are looking for the status response of 200 OK
200 ok
Complete monitor config:
ltm monitor https /Common/ACE_PROBE {
adaptive disabled
cipherlist DEFAULT:+SHA:+3DES:+kEDH
