Procedue to configure Custom FTP monitoring

Dear Team,

 

While creating a custom monitors for FTP, the pool goes offline after selecting the health monitor as the custom created FTP. May I know what the exact reason for the issue. Also let me know what should be selected in path /filename box and mode.

 

Thanks and regrads, Ram Ravella

    Hi Ram,

     

    In the path/filename section you need to add the full path and filename for the file that you want to check.

     

    The BigIP downloads this file as part of the check so the file must be there for it to download or the check will fail.

     

    If you setup a file called F5MonitorCheck in the root directory of your ftp server the path/filename will be.

     

    /F5MonitorCheck
