Backend Server setup for HTTPS monitor

Hi,

 

Here is what you can do.

 

Lets say that your server IP is 1.1.1.1 and the https port is 443.

 

1. 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

 

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"
