Hi Vishal,

 

 

There are a lot of topic specific threads in this forum for solving specific problems, but few general ones on monitoring in general. I usually use a two-fold approach. I build good monitors on the BIG-IP and also employ an alerting system (Zabbix, Nagios, Opsview, etc.) to fix the nodes the BIG-IP marks down.

Let me know if you need any more direction on monitoring documentation or examples.
