NimbostratusF5 https monitor receive string
Hello,
I am testing an HTTPS monitor on BIG-IP 17.1.2.
The server endpoint returns:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK when the service is healthy
HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable when the service is unhealthy
This behavior has been confirmed from the F5 using:
curl
In the HTTPS monitor, I tried the following Receive Strings:
-HTTP/1.1 200
-200 OK
- HTTP 200
but the monitor stays DOWN.
If I use:
-ok||200
the monitor goes UP, however it also remains UP when the endpoint returns HTTP 503.
My question is:
How can I configure a standard HTTPS monitor so that it is UP only when the endpoint returns HTTP 200 and DOWN when it returns HTTP 503?
Thank you.

Give this try for String config on a Monitor. Other option i can think of is using an iRule
Send String: GET /your-endpoint HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: ://yourdomain.com\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n
Receive String: HTTP/1.1 200 OK

send and receive string config uses regular expression syntax, which "." is also special character
