Hi
Is port 5061 open on the app servers? Can you telnet to the server on this port. Have you confirmed with the server admins that port 5061 is open?
Do you need to monitor on the alias port or can you monitor port 443 directly?

Although your question is quite hard to read (didn't you notice that??), it's generally not recommended to set a timeout that is lower than the interval (actually I'm quite surprised that this is even possible). Try setting a timeout which is larger (f5 recommendation: 3 * interval + 1 seconds).
See https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/12000/500/sol12531.html?sr=50894335 for further hints (this one also states "Configuring an appropriate interval/timeout ratio is important for simple monitors. In most cases, the interval/timeout should have a timeout value of three times the interval, plus one. For example, the default ratio is 5/16. Verify that the ratio is properly defined.")
