1) The txt file must actually be hosted in web-server directory, and not just 'located somewhere in the server', I mention that because you used 

\
instead of 
/
when mentioning your txt file location. Even when using Windows Server, the HTTP paths (directories) at the client-facing front-end are distinguished by 
/

2) First check if the txt file opens directly in HTTP response body at 
http://web-server-ip/server1/d/f5mon/f5mon.txt
. If yes, something like this may work: 
ltm monitor http mon_http_custom {
    defaults-from http
    destination *:*
    interval 5
    ip-dscp 0
    recv 1
    recv-disable 0
    send "GET /server1/d/f5mon/f5mon.txt HTTP/1.1\r\n"
    time-until-up 0
    timeout 16
}

Regards,
