Custom monitor - variable receive string

I am trying to configure a custom http monitor. The problem is that the monitor page returns a variable (in this case time). Does anyone know if there is a way to do catch a non-static value in the receive string and do a regex expression check (like ((0?[1-9]|1[012])(:[0-5]\d){0,2}(\ [AP]M))$|^([01]\d|2[0-3])(:[0-5]\d){0,2}).

 

 

 

Thanks

    Hi,

     

     

    LTM supports basic regular expressions in the receive string for monitors. See SOL5917 for details.

    Does that regex work for you? If not, see this wiki page for troubleshooting steps:
