HTTPS monitor on a specific port

You can enable debug on the monitoring daemon, bigd:

bigd keys

 

 

The bigd keys control the health monitors. If you change one of these values, you must re-initialize the system as follows:

 

 

bigstart reinit bigd

 

 

Common.Bigip.Bigd.Verbose = 0

 

Set to non-zero to cause bigd to generate output to debug file.

 

 

Common.Bigip.Bigd.SimulatePings = 0

 

Set to non-zero to cause bigd to generate pings but not report results to the kernel.

 

 

Common.Bigip.Bigd.RecvMatchAll = 0

 

Set to non-zero to cause bigd to allow any response from the node as a receive match.

 

 

Common.Bigip.Bigd.NodePingOff = 0

 

Set to non-zero to turn off (noisy) bigd node pings. Service pings are still enabled.

 

 

Common.Bigip.Bigd.NodePingTcp = 0

 

Set to non-zero so that the gateway pinger uses TCP pings rather than ICMP pings.

 

 

Common.Bigip.Bigd.HostLookup = 0

 

Set to non-zero to allow bigd to do host lookups.

 

 

Common.Bigip.Bigd.DbgFile = "/var/log/bigdlog."

 

Open a debug output (log) file for bigd..

 

 

 

 

Also, you shouldn't need to specify the port in the monitor as long as the pool member is defined on the correct port. The monitor check will be performed on the pool member's port.
