NimbostratusHealth monitoring question
Environment F5 LTM :-
I have a Virtual server with service port as 0 (All ports)
and Configuration tab, Protocol as (All Protocols)
It has a Pool added to VS, and the health monitor is gateway_icmp ...

EmployeeWhat is the pool member?
Is it a server serving multiple ports or is it a router passing traffic through?
http will only test that port 80 is available and responding with http responses. for an all-ports server, gateway-icmp is probably better.
If it is a router address, then gateway-icmp pinging through the router to a device beyond the router is recommended (Transparent monitor with an Alias address).
