Creating an F5 Pool And Assign Multiple Health Monitors To It

Question

Say I create two nodes SERVER1 and SERVER2

create ltm node SERVER1 description SERVER1 address 10.1.1.1%200
create ltm node SERVER2 description SERVER2 address 10.1.1.2%200

After I added the nodes I wanted to create a pool and assign it multiple Health Monitors instead of just a single one. In my script I have something like this

create ltm pool some_pool_1 members add { SERVER1:0 SERVER2:0 } monitor health_monitor_1 health_monitor_2 monitor_3 health_monitor_4 health_monitor_5

This will only assign this health_monitor_1 before throwing a Syntax Error: "health_monitor_2" unknown property. When I go into health_monitor_1 I can see SERVER1 and SERVER2 but when I go into any of the other Health Monitors I do not see the nodes SERVER1 and SERVER2in there. I have to go into the Pool and manually assign it the other Health Monitors. Can someone help me change my script create ltm pool some_pool_1 members add { SERVER1:0 SERVER2:0 } monitor health_monitor_1 health_monitor_2 monitor_3 health_monitor_4 health_monitor_5 to be able to assign multiple health monitors to my pool?

If you want to attach multiple monitors to the pool you are creating, you need to put them in parentheses:

create ltm pool p1 members add { 10.1.1.1:80 10.1.1.2:80 } monitor "http https"

or, if you want to have a minimum number of two monitors working:

create ltm pool p1 members add { 10.1.1.1:80 10.1.1.2:80 } monitor min 2 of { tcp http https }
