    ? Completing prompt function conflicts of tmsh view, it can be used by switching to the bash view

    run util bash

    tmsh create ltm monitor https test_monitor { adaptive disabled defaults-from https send "HEAD /path1/path2/Access/information/script/healthcheck?wsdl HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: test.com\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n" recv "HTTP/1.(0|1) 200 OK" destination *:* interval 5 time-until-up 0 timeout 16 }

To configure inTMSH, I believe you can also replace the "?" character with an escape sequence as per the following article:

https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K4186

You would replace "?" with "\x3F"

So, so something like this:

create ltm monitor https test_monitor { app-service /Common/test.app/test adaptive disabled defaults-from https send "HEAD /path1/path2/Access/information/script/healthcheck\x3Fwsdl HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: Close\r\n\r\n" recv "HTTP/1.(0|1) 200 OK" destination *:* interval 5 time-until-up 0 timeout 16 }
