Hi Kalin,

 

 

I believe that any response which doesn't match the receive string (or a lack of response) will trigger a monitor failure. A single monitor failure will not result in the pool member being marked down. If there are no successes over the course of the monitor timeout period the pool member will be marked down. If you want more real time monitoring, you could look at adding an inband monitor as well. You can check AskF5 for details on inband monitors.
