Monitoring anything fails

Hello Everyone,     I've set up a GTM with one data centre, link and server; and one wide ip with one pool and one virtual server (Microsoft windows 2008 using network load balancing)     ...

Hi djfcc,

 

 

The easiest way to test monitors is to SSH to the GTM and test manually from there. If it is an HTTP monitor that is failing, trying telnet'ing to the server in question and sending a GET request (telnet my-problematic-host 80; GET /). That will most likely fail, at which point you start tracing down the stack. Can you ping the host in question from the command line? Do you have a route to the host? Is the service down on the host?

 

 

Keep troubleshooting. You'll find it!
