DESCRIPTION
You can use the nntp component to configure a custom monitor, or you
can use the default NNTP monitor that the Global Traffic Manager
provides. This type of monitor verifies the Usenet News protocol
service by attempting to retrieve a newsgroup identification string
from the server.
EXAMPLES
create nntp my_nntp defaults-from nntp
Creates a monitor named my_nntp that inherits properties from the
default NNTP monitor.
list nntp
Displays the properties of all of the NNTP monitors.
OPTIONS
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 nntp.
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.
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.
newsgroup
Specifies the name of the newsgroup that you are monitoring, for
example alt.car.mercedes. The default value is none.
partition
Displays the administrative partition within which the component
resides.
password
Specifies the password if the monitored target requires
authentication. The default value is none.
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.
username
Specifies the username, if the monitored target requires
authentication. The default value is none.
