Configure General settings for the SIP health monitor through the
Avi Load Balancer
UI.Under the
General
tab of the CREATE HEALTH MONITOR
screen, configure the following:- Enter a uniqueNamefor the monitor.
- Enter aDescription.
- SelectSIPas theType of Health Monitor.Once theType of Monitoris selected, options specific to the SIP health monitor type are displayed.
- Select the optionIs Federated?to replicate the object across the federation. When this option is not selected, the object is visible within the Controller-cluster and its associated SEs.This option is enabled only when GSLB is activated. A federated health monitor is used for GSLB purposes while it is not applicable for a regular health-monitor. A GSLB service cannot be associated with a regular health monitor, because GSLB service is a federated object, while the health monitor is not. Conversely, a pool cannot be associated with a federated health monitor because the pool is not a federated object.
- Enter theSend Intervalvalue (in seconds). This value determines how frequently the health monitor initiates an active check of a server. The frequency range is 1 to 3600.
- Enter theReceive Timeoutvalue (in seconds). The server must return a valid response to the health monitor within the specified time limit. The receive timeout range is 1 to 2400 or the send interval value minus 1 second.If the status of a server continually flips between up and down, this may indicate that the receive timeout is too aggressive for the server.
- EnterSuccessful Checks. This is the number of consecutive health checks that must succeed before theAvi Load Balancermarks a down server as up. The minimum is 1, and the maximum is 50.
- EnterFailed Checks. This is the number of consecutive health checks that on failing, theAvi Load Balancermarks a server as down. The minimum is 1, and the maximum is 50.
