SFTP Health Check

I have a request to monitor pool members via a SSH key file, a user name, and a share folder that can view a text file.

 

Share looks like:

 

/ouaf/splinput/available.txt

 

user_f5

 

and a key file.

 

is there a simple way anyone knows how to implement this type of health check?

 

application delivery
availability
design
LTM
monitor

    Josiah is correct, you'll need to write an external monitor to perform this work. Not rocket science, but not quite as simple as a monitor in the GUI either.

    Wait...are you guys saying...that a Perl script has to be created to do this? Is there a simple walk through for this? Its must be the most basic SFTP health check possible. I'm not sure it can get any simpler. I don't know Perl or scripting but I'm am extremely effective monkey mimicker. I can follow a pattern fairly easily. Hasn't anyone ever made a SFTP health monitor?
