Nimbostratustmsh test-monitor : external executable not found
Hi,
I'm trying to use the "test-monitor" function in tmsh but every time I use it I get the same answer:
root@(lb07067)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) test-monitor http address 10.221.62.23 port 8180 can't run 'http' monitor manually: external executable not found (http)
Even on the basic http default monitor.
Any clue ? Thanks

Hi,
Your behaviour is normal.
Be carefulle for "test-monitor" utility, Internal monitors are not supported.
You can use this command only for External monitor: https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/AdvDesignConfig.ExternalMonitor.ashx
And in your example you use an Internal monitor (http) so it will not work...
If you want more detail check this documentation (page 109-12): https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/bigip-tmsh-reference-11-6-0.pdf
I advise you to use Curl for testing your Monitor:

let me know if it's clear for you.
regards.
