DESCRIPTION
       You can use the tcp-half-open component to configure a custom monitor,
       or you can use the default TCP Half Open monitor that the Local Traffic
       Manager provides.

       For more information about configuring monitors, refer to the
       Configuration Guide for BIG-IP(r) Local Traffic Manager(r).

EXAMPLES
       create tcp-half-open my_tcp-half-open defaults-from tcp_half_open

       Creates a monitor named my_tcp-half-open that inherits properties from
       the default TCP Half Open monitor.

       list tcp-half-open

       Displays the properties of all of the TCP Half Open 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 tcp_half_open.

       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.

	    IP address:port (with the transparent option enabled)
		 Specifies to perform a health check on the server at the IP
		 address and port you specify, route the check through the IP
		 address and port supplied by the pool member, and mark the
		 pool member (the gateway) up or down accordingly.

       glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob
	    for a description of glob expression syntax.

       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.

       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.

       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.

       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 received from the node. The default value is 0 (zero).

       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.

       transparent
	    Specifies whether the monitor operates in transparent mode.
	    Monitors in transparent mode can monitor pool members through
	    firewalls. The default value is disabled.

       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.
