DESCRIPTION
You can use the sip component to configure a custom monitor, or you can
use the default SIP monitor that the Local Traffic Manager provides.
This type of monitor checks the status of SIP Call-ID services on a
device. The SIP protocol enables real-time messaging, voice, data, and
video.
EXAMPLES
create sip my_sip defaults-from sip
Creates a monitor named my_sip that inherits properties from the
default SIP monitor.
list sip
Displays the properties of all of the SIP 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.
cert Specifies a fully-qualified path for a client certificate that the
monitor sends to the target SSL server. The default value is none.
cipherlist
Specifies the list of ciphers for this monitor. The default value
is DEFAULT:+SHA:+3DES:+kEDH.
compatibility
Specifies, when enabled, that the SSL options setting (in OpenSSL)
is set to ALL. The default value is enabled.
debug
Specifies whether the monitor sends error messages and additional
information to a log file created and labeled specifically for
this monitor. You can use the log information to help diagnose and
troubleshoot unsuccessful health checks.
The default value is no. The options are:
no Specifies that the system does not redirect error messages
and additional information related to this monitor.
yes Specifies that the system redirects error messages and
additional information to the
/var/log/monitors/--.log file.
defaults-from
Specifies the name of the monitor from which you want your custom
monitor to inherit settings. The default value is sip.
description
User defined description.
destination
Specifies the IP address and service port 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 and
port supplied by a pool member.
*:port
Specifies to perform a health check on the server with the IP
address supplied by the pool member and the port you specify.
IP address:port
Specifies to mark a pool member up or down based on the
response of the server at the IP address and port you
specify.
filter
Specifies the SIP status codes that the target can return to be
considered up. By default the system always accepts status codes
whose value is in the 100, 200 or 300s.
The options are:
any Specifies that the monitor accepts any SIP status codes.
none Specifies that the monitor does not accept any other SIP
status codes. This is the default value.
status
Specifies one or more status codes that you want to add to
the monitor.
filter-neg
Specifies the SIP status codes that the target can return to be
considered down. By default the system always accepts status codes
according to sip-monitor.filter. After checking that, the status
code is checked against this key. If a code is also in
sip-monitor.filter, the node is marked up.
The options are:
any Specifies that the monitor rejects all SIP status codes that
are not in sip-monitor.filter.
none Specifies that the monitor does not specifically reject any
other SIP status codes. This is the default value.
status
Specifies one or more status codes that you want to add to
the monitor.
glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob
for a description of glob expression syntax.
headers
Specifies the set of SIP headers in the SIP message that is sent
to the target. Separate each header with a new line. The default
value is none.
interval
Specifies, in seconds, the frequency at which the system issues
the monitor check when either the resource is down or the status
of the resource is unknown. The default value is 5 seconds.
Important: F5 Networks recommends that when you configure this
option and the up-interval option, whichever value is greater be a
multiple of the lesser value to allow for an even distribution of
monitor checks among all monitors.
key Specifies the key if the monitored target requires authentication.
The default value is none.
manual-resume
Specifies whether the system automatically changes the status of a
resource to up at the next successful monitor check. The default
value of the manual-resume option is disabled.
Note that if you set the manual-resume option to enabled, you must
manually mark the resource as up before the system can use it for
load balancing connections.
mode Specifies the protocol that the monitor uses to communicate with
the target. The default mode is udp. The options are:
sips Specifies that the monitor uses SIPS to communicate with the
target.
tcp Specifies that the monitor uses TCP to communicate with the
target.
tls Specifies that the monitor uses TLS to communicate with the
target, and the SIP URI is SIPS.
udp Specifies that the monitor uses UDP to communicate with the
target.
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.
request
Specifies the SIP request line in the SIP message that is sent to
the target. The default value is none.
time-until-up
Specifies the amount of time, in seconds, after the first
successful response before a node is marked up. A value of 0
(zero) causes a node to be marked up immediately after a valid
response is
timeout
Specifies the number of seconds the target has in which to respond
to the monitor request. The default value is 16 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.
up-interval
Specifies, in seconds, the frequency at which the system issues
the monitor check when the resource is up. The default value is 0
(zero), which specifies that the system uses the value of the
interval option whether the resource is up or down.
Important: F5 Networks recommends that when you configure this
option and the interval option, whichever value is greater be a
multiple of the lesser value to allow for an even distribution of
monitor checks among all monitors.
