Thank you for your response. I like your solution of creating multiple monitors with availability requirement of 1. But I was thinking if there is a better way to do it for ex: if we need to monitor 70 ports.

For the TCP Policy I was thinking to create a policy with specific ports and drop traffic if  it comes on non specified port.

Hi InquisitiveMai , 
   I am happy that my reply helped you. 
I know that you want a single health monitor to monitor all of your 70 services , For instance if service number " 50 and 60 " become down suddenly and become unavailable , you will not able to detect it as an adminstrator and only your customers who send requests on port 50 or 60 will impacted by these services outage. 
so if you created a custom monitor for each service you can feel and notice if there are an outage happened to one of your services , by SNMP Logs or an integrated SIEM solution with you Big-ip appliance. 
So I see to create multiple custom monitor will be practical and comfortable for you.
