    # f5bigip.GtmMonitorTcp Resource

    Provides a BIG-IP GTM (Global Traffic Manager) TCP Monitor resource. This resource allows you to configure and manage GTM TCP health monitors on a BIG-IP system.

    Description

    A GTM TCP monitor verifies the health of TCP-based services by establishing a connection to the target. It can optionally send a text string and evaluate the response for more specific health checks.

    Example Usage
