External Health monitor scripts

Hello DevCentral Friends: Im having an issue with external monitor scripts, and i wonder if any of you can help. Im trying to create a script to monitor my service at application layer. In BIG IP LTM i add the following info to my external monitor:

>ltm monitor external eav_test_monitor {

  defaults-from external

  destination *:*

  interval 5

  run /Common/Trails

  time-until-up 0

  timeout 16

 user-defined HOST sitefoint.net

 user-defined URI /v/1/siteservice.svc

user-defined RECV siteService Service

}

>I have around 40 different services (Pools name) all using the the same back-end Server IPs (10.X.X.60, 10.X.X.61 and 10.X.X.62). when applied my ext-monitor to siteinfo.net service, it is also shown on other services (all 40 instances)..

>The attached scripts is applied to the ext monitor in BIG-IP. But when the ext health monitors is applied the pool it doesn't work. The Pool goes Down. Logs shows eav failed. Services down due to ext monitor.

Any idea what is wrong on the scripts below, or what might be the problem? I have tried with no recv string set as well...
