Specifies that the monitor allows more than one probe attempt per interval.
When yes , specifies that the monitor ignores down responses for the duration of the monitor timeout. Once the monitor timeout is reached without the system receiving an up response, the system marks the object down.
When no , specifies that the monitor immediately marks an object down when it receives a down response.
When creating a new monitor, if this parameter is not provided, then the default value will be no .

|
IP address part of the IP/port definition. If this parameter is not provided when creating a new monitor, then the default value will be '*'.

443
|
The BIG-IP server port.
You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER_PORT .

A match for this string means that the web server was down.
To use this option, you must specify values for send and receive .

Choices:
present ←
- absent
|
When present , ensures that the monitor exists.
When absent , ensures the monitor is removed.
|
timeout
|
|
The number of seconds in which the node or service must respond to the monitor request. 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. You can change this number to any number you want, however, it should be 3 times the interval number of seconds plus 1 second.
If this parameter is not provided when creating a new monitor, then the default value will be 120.
|
transparent
bool |
|
Specifies whether the monitor operates in transparent mode.
A monitor in transparent mode directs traffic through the associated pool members or nodes (usually a router or firewall) to the aliased destination (that is, it probes the ip -port combination specified in the monitor).
If the monitor cannot successfully reach the aliased destination, the pool member or node through which the monitor traffic was sent is marked down.
When creating a new monitor, if this parameter is not provided, then the default value will be no .
|
user

The username to connect to the BIG-IP with. This user must have administrative privileges on the device.
You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_USER .
|
validate_certs
