v9.4.5 external monitor not running

One thing to add is handling for IPv6 addresses that LTM uses internally:

 

 

http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/AdvDesignConfig/HTTPMonitor_cURL_BasicGET.html

 

 

these arguments supplied automatically for all external monitors:

 

$1 = IP (IPv6 notation. IPv4 addresses are passed in the form

 

::ffff:w.x.y.z

 

where "w.x.y.z" is the IPv4 address)

 

$2 = port (decimal, host byte order)

 

remove IPv6/IPv4 compatibility prefix (LTM passes addresses in IPv6 format)

 

IP=`echo ${1} | sed 's/::ffff://'`

 

PORT=${2}

 

 

This is bash, but you could do something similar with perl to strip off the ::ffff: prefix.
