What are the CSMs health checking capabilities?
A. Currently, all the probe configuration parameters in the CSM refer to probes that are originated by the CSM, sent to the servers and checked against an expected status (a simple ICMP reply in case of a ping, or a positive status in case of an HTTP request of a specific object, etc.) The CSM supports also generic TCP probes: it tries to open a connection to a generic TCP port (that you configure as part of the probe configuration) and verifies that the server is able to establish a TCP connection on that specific port. You have the ability to specify the maximum delay that you expect the TCP connection (the probe connection) to take before it’s set up.If the server takes longer than X seconds to set up that TCP connection then the CSM considers that a server failure.
