Add node by port number

Question

Hello,

Version 9.5.1

I need to figure out how to add a node by a port number or if it's even possible.  We transitioned from Radware load balancers to F5s and ICMP won't work.  Is there any way to monitor these nodes by a port probe?  For instance 3389 for Windows and 22 for Linux/Unix?

I've tried changing the SNMP port etc but that doesn't lend connectivity.

Thanks,

This is not currently possible today.

I had to chime in about the answer above. It always makes me smile and quietly laugh.

If a function is not "currently" available :

1. Was it available in the past and deprecated out at sometime ?

2. Is it scheduled for inclusion in a future release ?

3. Are you waiting to see if there is enough interest from the customers to do option #2 ?

I also imagine the answer being spoken by someone and they really draw out the "currently" word. This makes the answer a prompt for the questioner to ask the next logical question. That being "When will it be available ? "

You've gotta hate IT geeks that write code and take things as literal as possible.

Snicker, snicker, snort.

Chris.
