Custom http health check

I did a test in my lab to look for a string of text in the receive string "success" for a known page we use to health check servers. If the string is not present the monitor will fail the server. here is the request and response GET /serverhealth/health.asp HTTP/1.1 Host:healthcheck.my.domain.org Connection: close

HTTP/1.1 200 OK Cache-Control: private Content-Length: 129 Content-Type: text/html Expires: Fri, 24 Jul 2015 12:15:02 GMT Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2015 12:15:02 GMT Connection: close

success

The monitor request was using GET /serverhealth/health.asp HTTP/1.1\nHost:healthcheck.my.domain.org \nConnection: close\n\n the receive string I used was the word success

If you have a word in your receive string that's not present when the script fails this same monitor could work for you
