Configure General Settings

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:
  1. Enter a unique
    Name
    for the monitor.
  2. Enter a
    Description
    .
  3. Select
    SIP
    as the
    Type of Health Monitor
    .
    Once the
    Type of Monitor
    is selected, options specific to the SIP health monitor type are displayed.
  4. Select the option
    Is 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.
  5. Enter the
    Send Interval
    value (in seconds). This value determines how frequently the health monitor initiates an active check of a server. The frequency range is 1 to 3600.
  6. Enter the
    Receive Timeout
    value (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.
  7. Enter
    Successful Checks
    . This is the number of consecutive health checks that must succeed before the
    Avi Load Balancer
    marks a down server as up. The minimum is 1, and the maximum is 50.
  8. Enter
    Failed Checks
    . This is the number of consecutive health checks that on failing, the
    Avi Load Balancer
    marks a server as down. The minimum is 1, and the maximum is 50.
