Hi Allen,

 

There is a big3d_install script on the GTM which allows the GTM and LTM to communicate metrics. Basically you would add the LTM if you haven't already as a server where you would define the virtual server within that server. The monitor would be BigIP. You also need run big3d_install script on the GTM so that the GTM and LTM exchange keys. Once that is done you don't need a direct health check. The LTM and GTM will communicate whether the VIP is up or down based on the LTMs health check of the servers.

 

 

 

I hope this helps
