Keepalives On Health Monitors Or Servers

Hi,

 

 

I guess I should be more specific - we are currently using the http, https and tcp checks, and there does not seem to be the options that there are with the icmp health monitor:

 

 

Probe Interval 1 seconds

 

Probe Timeout 5 seconds

 

Probe Attempts 3

 

 

Which suggests that it would do something like what I am after.

Hi Nicholas,

 

 

Take a look at this post and reply here if you have any questions. It's on LTM monitors, but the concepts still apply to GTM probes. The only difference is the probe timeout setting in GTM. With the probe timeout setting, you can specify how long the monitoring daemon should wait before considering a probe attempt a failure.

Hi,

 

 

I have had a look at the post and whilst it makes sense, I can't seem to get what I want working. Basically, I have setup a custom Monitor setup on my GTM with the following parameters:

 

 

Interval: 15

 

Timeout: 81

 

Probe Timeout: 5

 

 

So I would expect that the probe would run every 15 seconds, and that 5 consecutive probes would need to be missed before the Server was marked as down (5 x 15 = 75 + 5 for the probe timeout).

 

 

However, when I tested this, the GTM was correctly sending Probes every 15 seconds, but the Server was marked as down after the first missed probe.

 

 

Am I missing something? GTM version is 9.4.7.
