How does this alert work?

indeni checks the status of the monitors using “list /ltm monitor” as well as collecting data on its own directly (running a ping on the LTM device if the monitor is an ICMP one, running curl if the monitor is HTTP, etc.). This allows indeni to provide not only the status but also what has failed.
