Hello-

 

If you take a look at the latest version of the iApp template for Exchange Server (named 'f5.microsoft_exchange_2010_2013_cas.v1.3.0.tmpl' and available in the iapps-1.0.0.157.0.zip bundle from https://downloads.f5.com/esd/product.jsp?sw=BIG-IP&pro=big-ip_v11.x), you can see an example of a curl-based external monitor (an "EAV") that gets created to monitor the Autodiscover service. Although the URI and parameters are going to be different than what you what, it should otherwise serve as a good model for how to get an iApp to write an external script for use as a monitor, and what that script should look like.

 

Let us know if that gives you the information you need.

I looked at the template and I can see a bit of what's going on there. The script is created inline and then turned into an external monitor. The I/O of the script makes sense. Where I'm getting stuck is this situation: curl script sends SOAP payload, receives response which is stored to a variable. The contents of the variable then need to dictate the status of a pool as being up/down. That piece is where I'm getting stuck.
