Hi David,

 

 

I'm not sure what's expected for this, but if you escape the ? with a back slash it seems to create the monitor successfully:

 

 

(tmos.ltm.monitor) create https et_phone_home defaults-from https recv "ALL OK" send "GET /et/spielberg/health/\?app=contact-us\r\n\r\n" interval 20 timeout 61

 

 

(tmos.ltm.monitor) list https et_phone_home

 

ltm monitor https et_phone_home {

 

cipherlist "DEFAULT:+SHA:+3DES:+kEDH"

 

compatibility "enabled"

 

defaults-from https

 

interval 20

 

recv "ALL OK"

 

send "GET /et/spielberg/health/?app=contact-us\r\n\r\n"

 

time-until-up 0

 

timeout 61

 

}

 

 

Also note that you should add a second \r\n to the end of the send string:
