Backend Server setup for HTTPS monitor
What should I configure in the Backend server to get the HTTP/HTTPS monitor in the LTM mark it UP. The HTTP monitor has got "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" as the RECV string.

Hello again 🙂
Could you share the output of the following command :
curl http://serverIP/urltomonitor -H "Host: hostname.domain.com" -v
Based on the result, if it contains "200 OK" you can set the receive string to "200 OK"
Hi,
Here is what you can do.
Lets say that your server IP is 1.1.1.1 and the https port is 443.
- Try a ping to ensure that you have L3 connectivity:
ping 1.1.1.1
2.Check if the port is open:
telnet 1.1.1.1 443
3.Check the send string syntax:
Commonly should look like : GET /path/monitor.txt HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: example.com\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n
4.Try a curl using your monitor send string and compare the server response with your recv string.
Example: curl –kv https://1.1.1.1/path/monitor.txt –H “Host: example.com”
Regards
