DESCRIPTION
You can use the real-server component to configure a custom monitor, or you can use the default RealServer monitor that the
Global Traffic Manager provides. This type of monitor checks the performance of a pool, pool member, or virtual server that
is running the RealServer data collection agent, and then dynamically load balances traffic accordingly.
EXAMPLES
create real-server my_real-server defaults-from real_server
Creates a monitor named my_real-server that inherits properties from the default RealServer monitor.
list real-server
Displays the properties of all of the RealServer monitors.
OPTIONS
agent
Displays the agent for the monitor. The default agent is Mozilla/4.0 (compatible: MSIE 5.0; Windows NT). You cannot
modify the agent.
command
Displays the command that the system uses to obtain the metrics from the resource. See the documentation for this
resource for information on available commands. You cannot modify the command.
defaults-from
Specifies the name of the monitor from which you want your custom monitor to inherit settings. The default value is
real_server.
description
User defined description.
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 30 seconds.
name Specifies a unique name for the component. This option is required for the commands create, delete, and modify.
method
Displays the GET method. You cannot modify the method.
metrics
Specifies the performance metrics that the commands collect from the target. The default value is ServerBandwidth:1.5,
CPUPercentUsage, MemoryUsage, TotalClientCount.
partition
Displays the administrative partition within which the component resides.
probe-timeout
Specifies the number of seconds after which the BIG-IP(r) system times out the probe request to the BIG-IP system. The
default value is 5 seconds.
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 120
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.
