BIG-IP® Reference Guide 4 - 147
Note
Servers to be checked by an imap monitor typically require special
configuration to maintain a high level of security while also allowing for
monitor authentication.
Using external
The external template is for a user-supplied monitor. An external monitor
requires the executable name (run) of that monitor and any command line
arguments (args) required.
Configuring a monitor
The second step in creating a monitor and placing it in service is to
configure the monitor from the monitor template. Configuring a monitor
consists of giving it a name distinct from the monitor template name and
assigning values to all attributes that are not to be left at their default values
(and adding any optional attributes that are not present by default, like
reverse or transparent). You can do this using the Configuration utility or
at the command line using the bigpipe monitor command.
To configure a monitor using the Configuration utility
1. In the navigation pane, click Monitors.
The Network Monitors screen opens.
2. Click the Add button.
The Add Monitor screen opens.
