DESCRIPTION
       You can use the smtp component to configure a custom monitor, or you
       can use the default SMTP monitor that the Global Traffic Manager
       provides. This type of monitor checks the status of a pool, pool
       member, or virtual server by issuing standard SMTP commands.

EXAMPLES
       create smtp my_smtp defaults-from smtp

       Creates a monitor named my_smtp that inherits properties from the
       default SMTP monitor.

       list smtp

       Displays the properties of all of the SMTP 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 smtp.

       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.

       domain
	    Specifies the domain name to check, for example,
	    bigipinternal.com. The default value is none.

       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.

       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.
