DESCRIPTION
You can use the inband component to configure a custom monitor, or you can use the default Inband monitor that the Local
Traffic Manager provides. With this type of monitor the BIG-IP(r) system can perform passive monitoring as part of client
requests.
EXAMPLES
create inband my_inband defaults-from inband
Creates a monitor named my_inband that inherits properties from the default Inband monitor.
list inband
Displays the properties of all of the Inband 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
inband.
description
User defined description.
failure-interval
Specifies an interval, in seconds. If the number of failures specified in the failures option occurs within this
interval, the system marks the pool member as being unavailable. The default value is 30.
failures
Specifies the number of failures that the system allows to occur, within the time period specified in the failure-
interval option, before marking a pool member unavailable. The default value is 3, which means that the system marks
the pool member unavailable at the fourth failure. The multiple tmm processes use a per-process number to calculate
failures, depending on the specified load. For example, for the Round Robin load balancing method, if there are N tmm
processes and M pool members, and the Failures setting is set to L, then up to N*M*L+1 failures can occur before the
system marks the node as down.
Specifying a value of 0 (zero) disables this option.
A failure can be either a failure to connect or a failure of the pool member to respond within the time specified in
the response-time option.
glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob for a description of glob expression syntax.
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.
response-time
Specifies an amount of time, in seconds. If the pool member does not respond with data after the specified amount of
time has passed, the number of failures in this interval increments by 1. Specifying a value of 0 (zero) disables this
option.
retry-time
Specifies the amount of time in seconds after the pool member has been marked unavailable before the system retries to
connect to the pool member. Specifying a value of 0 (zero) disables this option.
