HTTP Monitor on High Port

I cannot figure out how to configure a http monitor to work on a random high port. The reals are failing health checks. When I do a "tcpdump port 9006" on the server I see no traffic. Here is my config: 

 
 virtual MY-VIRTUAL { 
    snat automap 
    pool MY-POOL-9006 
    destination 10.120.228.96:http 
    ip protocol tcp 
    profiles 
       http 
       tcp 
 } 
  
 pool MY-POOL-9006 { 
    monitor all MY-MONITOR 
    members 
       10.120.11.200:9006 
       10.120.11.205:9006 
 } 
  
 monitor MY-MONITOR { 
    defaults from http 
    dest *:9006 
 }

A "telnet 10.120.11.200 9006" followed by a "GET /" works just fine.

    Glad you found out what the problem was, but just FYI you don't have to specify a custom monitor on port 9006 if you've defined the pool members as 9006 already. The default http monitor will use whatever port the pool members are configured on.

     

     

    Where that comes in handy is if you have pool members defined on port 0 (wildcard). Then the monitor needs to specify a port.
