How to configure the health monitor¶
This section describes how to configure the health monitor.
The health monitor provides a health check function for the load balancing target (real server) of the Managed Load Balancer.
It periodically monitors the failure of the load balancing target (real server), and if it fails, it automatically disconnects from the load balancing target.
You can use the health check function at L3 (ICMP), L4 (TCP), and L7 (HTTP/HTTPS) levels.
