Create Service Monitor

With Service Monitor, you can monitor the status of servers in the backend pool. If the response to a request is not as expected, the server can be removed from the pool so that it does not receive new requests.

Service Monitor can be used when creating a pool or added to an existing one in the option Monitors.

By default, three validation methods are configured:

  • TCP-monitor;
  • HTTP-monitor;
  • HTTPS-monitor.
