LTM has built-in application health monitor templates for many TCP-based application protocols (FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, LDAP, MSSQL, NNTP, POP3, RADIUS, RTSP, RPC, SASP, SIP, SMB, SMTP, SOAP).

If you need to monitor an application which depends on an upper layer protocol for which there is not a built-in monitor template, LTM provides a number of options to build a monitor based on the underlying transport layer protocol– TCP. Read more…
