I see your using a HTTP monotor for HTTPS servers! And you do not have a URI listed for the page to health check or a host name if the servers need one.

 

this example below is similar to what we use for https and we use a head since we really only are interested in the 200 response code, it would work for you if you had the correct URI and host header

 

ltm monitor https HTTPS-EXPECT-200 { cipherlist DEFAULT:+SHA:+3DES:+kEDH compatibility enabled defaults-from https destination : interval 15 recv 200 send "GET /something/ToCheck.aspx HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: healthcheck.yourcompany.com \r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n" time-until-up 10 timeout 46

I changed the mointor as mention below and NODE and POOL came up. GET /\r\n\r\n also I was using HTTP profile which I removed as well. But now I am sometimes able to connet with the servers and sometimes not. The issue is intermittent Please let me know what could be the issue. Some clients are able to connect and sometimes are not.
