Monitors not available at node level
Hi,
I have 5 nodes in a pool, which i need to monitor for SMTP connectivity. These nodes do not reply to icmp or anything other than SMTP.
So i created a SMTP monitor, but noticed...

What version of LTM?
The docs are a bit vague on which monitors you can associate with nodes. Simply stating (9.2 docs, haven't gone back to check the later ones) that monitors explicitly designed to monitor pools or poolmembers aren't available to monitor nodes...
I'm not sure which way it falls. I suspect it may be anything that monitors a port is pool level... And only IP level monitors are available to nodes... (Which pretty much means ICMP). Although tcp/echo is available for nodes I believe... But that won't help...
Not sure about tcp and tcp/half-open... They'll probably just annoy whoever looks at your SMTP logs more than anything else. (If they even work at node level).
You could perhaps try a custom (Scripted) monitor... Maybe theyre available 9Sorry for all the maybe's. I don't have access to an LTM where I am at the moment).
