Configuring Monitors on F5 LTM
I am fairly new to F5 and trying to set monitors for my SharePoint farm , I tried creating HTTP monitor , its just basic HTML file with "Up" text in it ... What I am trying to achieve is , if I change this text from "Up" to "Down" it should take that node out of Load Balancer Pool , and converting it to "Up" again should put that node back in Load Balancer pool. Below is my Send and Receive strings :
Send String : GET /http://server:port/_layouts/images/filename.html HTTP/1.1\r\n Receive String : Up
As soon as I apply this Receive String , both nodes goes down ... If I keep Receive String as "OK" or blank it works fine but that's not solving my purpose. Please let me know what's wrong here , Is there any other way to achieve this. Pardon me if its very basic thing to do ... Thanks
Ah, the host header is required by most web-servers. We'll try again:
telnet 10.10.10.1 80 Then type GET /_layouts/images/filename.html HTTP/1.1 Enter once HOST: server domain Enter twice
