Get HTTP Monitor

I needing to create a health check monitor against these fqdn page on these two servers, it should just return and ok or 200. Not sure how to do it but im guessing I would create a Http health monito...

Just to clarify, are you saying that the web server is expecting a specific host name (i.e. one server looking for p-wfecat1-v and the other p-wfecat2-v) or does the web server not care what to host name is?

If your web servers don't care about the host name coming in, your send and receive strings would be pretty simple.

SEND: GET /SpatialKeyFramework/skmanage?action=healthCheck (This doesn't specify the HTTP version, and unless you're using HTTP 1.1, you dont' have to specify a Host header. If you're using HTTP 1.1 the Host header is required, though if you're web server doesn't care what it is, you can put whatever you want in it)

RECEIVE: ok (which should mark it up if the page contains "ok" or I think also on a 200 response code, because the status message would be "OK")

Assigned at the pool level, it will send that string to all the members, which is agnostic of host name.

Hope this helps.
