When running CA Access Gateway (SPS), how to implement health check
with that architecture :

and N :
......

. M . . N .
...... ......
A + B A + B
At first glance, out of the box, you should be able to monitor the
availability of the CA Access Gateway (SPS) services by running APM
product as described in APM documentation (1).
It may be possible to achieve also that from the Load Balancer
perspective by following the steps from this KD (2).

Access Gateway (SPS) implementing health check for load balancer
The best solution for a keep alive ping is to have a request that
goes through the SPS server and also hits the backend

complete path and not just the availability of the SPS server
itself.
