Hi,

 

 

Here is a general SOL on HTTP/S monitors:

 

 

sol2167: Constructing HTTP requests for use with the HTTP or HTTPS application health monitor

 

http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/2000/100/sol2167.html

 

 

For the send string, you should terminate it with \r\n\r\n if you're on 10.2.1 or higher:

 

 

sol10655: Change in Behavior: CR/LF characters appended to the HTTP monitor Send string

 

http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/10000/600/sol10655.html

 

 

If you don't specify a receive string, any TCP data will be considered a success.

 

 

Here's a SOL on troubleshooting monitors:

 

 

sol12531: Troubleshooting health monitors
