SFTP Monitoring

Can an SFTP port be monitored with the full handshake? Right now it looks like our F5 is just completing a port check (similar to a telnet to the port) that is causing an error within the SFTP server...

If you don't get an answer on this, you could use the Net::sftp perl library (assuming it's available on LTM) to do this via a script:

The DHCP monitor in the Codeshare from Kirk Bauer is Perl based, so it should be fairly simple to adapt for SFTP.
