    Your F5 BIG-IP is in a forced offline state. So no health checks 😉

    In BIG-IP 11.5.3, 11.6.0 HF6, 12.0.0 and later, the bigd process does not send monitor traffic to pool members and nodes when the system is offline and does not update the state of the monitored objects. This results in the following behavior:

    • When the BIG-IP system starts with Force Offline enabled, monitored nodes and pool members are initially marked Unchecked, then remain Unchecked until Force Offline is released.
