I have been working with the Perl LtmConfigToXml script but I get a 401 F5 Authorization Required. It seems like it is not even trying to authenticate.
thanks
You can definitely create custom monitors on the BIG-IP. You'll have to write the code yourself and be able to understand the communication between your monitor and the Tomcat server. Check out the BIG-IP admin guide and look for custom monitors. There are also some code share entries in the Advanced Design & Config wiki at https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/AdvDesignConfig.HomePage.ashx.
