DESCRIPTION
       You can use the bigip-link component to configure a custom monitor, or you can use the default BIG-IP Link
       monitor that the Global Traffic Manager provides. This type of monitor acquires data captured through monitors
       managed by a BIG-IP Link Controller.

EXAMPLES
       create bigip-link my_bigip-link defaults-from bigip_link

       Creates a monitor named my_bigip-link that inherits properties from the default BIG-IP Link monitor.

       list bigip-link

       Displays the properties of all of the BIG-IP Link 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 bigip_link.

       description
	    User defined description.

       destination
	    Specifies the IP address 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 of the node.

	    IP address
		 Specifies to perform a health check on the IP address that you specify, route the check through the
		 IP address of the associated node, and mark the IP address of the associated node up or down
		 accordingly.

       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 10 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.

       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 30 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.
