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.
