Creating a health monitor

To provide high availability of an application to clients, it is recommended to create and apply a health monitor to a pool. Without a monitor, the load balancer will continue to send traffic to members that may not be available.

Using the neutron lbaas-healthmonitor-create command, create a health monitor with the following attributes:

• Name: MONITOR_WEB
• Delay: 5
• Max retries:3
• Timeout: 4
• Type: TCP
• Pool: POOL_WEB
