Issues with the FTP health monitor

Thank you very much! I think you're absolutely right.

Does this 8 second limit affect FTP monitor only or the whole FTP flow?

I mean, let's assume my external users access the virtual FTP server (containing one FTP node) and experience occasional timeouts:

1. Either the monitor "falsely" mark the FTP node down (because of the 8 second limit)

    

2. Or the FTP node is up (according to the FTP monitor) so F5 passes traffic to the FTP server -- will the 8 second limit be introduced as well?

    

Thanks again!
