Do you get an error on the server when you telnet to the port and then close the connection? How about if you try 'netcat 172.17.2.11 1364' and then close the connection?

 

 

Basically, you need to figure out a way from the BIG-IP command line to connect to the server and not generate an error. Perl is pre-installed on the BIG-IP. You also have 'bash' for shell scripting. Once you figure out how to connect to the server without generating an application error, you can wrap that process in a script and reference the script in an external monitor.

 

 

I don't have an NDM server so I can't test this. And in a very quick google search didn't find any type of open source client package that would allow you to establish a connection with an NDM server.
