DESCRIPTION
You can use the bigip-link component to configure a custom monitor, or you can use the default BIG-IP Link monitor that the
Global Traffic Manager provides. This type of monitor acquires data captured through monitors managed by a BIG-IP Link
Controller.
EXAMPLES
create bigip-link my_bigip-link defaults-from bigip_link
Creates a monitor named my_bigip-link that inherits properties from the default BIG-IP Link monitor.
list bigip-link
Displays the properties of all of the BIG-IP Link monitors.
OPTIONS
app-service
Specifies the name of the application service to which the monitor belongs. The default value is none. Note: If the
strict-updates option is enabled on the application service that owns the object, you cannot modify or delete the
monitor. Only the application service can modify or delete the monitor.
defaults-from
Specifies the name of the monitor from which you want your custom monitor to inherit settings. The default value is
bigip_link.
description
User defined description.
destination
Specifies the IP address of the resource that is the destination of this monitor. The default value is *.
Possible values are:
* Specifies to perform a health check on the IP address of the node.
IP address
Specifies to perform a health check on the IP address that you specify, route the check through the IP address of
the associated node, and mark the IP address of the associated node up or down accordingly.
glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob for a description of glob expression syntax.
ignore-down-response
Specifies whether the monitor ignores a down response from the system it is monitoring. The default value is disabled.
interval
Specifies the frequency at which the system issues the monitor check. The default value is 10 seconds.
name Specifies a unique name for the component. This option is required for the commands create, delete, and modify.
partition
Displays the administrative partition within which the component resides.
regex
Displays the items that match the regular expression. The regular expression must be preceded by an at sign (@[regular
expression]) to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help regex for a description of regular
expression syntax.
timeout
Specifies the number of seconds the target has in which to respond to the monitor request. The default value is 30
seconds.
If the target responds within the set time period, it is considered up. If the target does not respond within the set
time period, it is considered down. Also, if the target responds with a RESET packet, the system immediately flags the
target as down without waiting for the timeout interval to expire.
