LTM is normally setup to fail 3 tests + 1 sec, only then mark down. That is the normal setup.

 

The behaviour you want is the default for GTM monitor for example. In that case is common to change the behaviour to be like LTM. You do this changing the option ignore response down.

 

You can't do the same as in the GTM, however, you can change the timeout. The default interval is 10 sec, you can setup the timeout to 10 sec. It does not mark down immediately, but it does not wait for 3 attempts.
