NimbostratusHealth monitor configuration
Hi,
Pls. let me know how we can configure health monitor for below requirement :
Please forgive me if I interpreted your question incorrectly though the solution article below should provide all of the details regarding the development of application health monitors.

Example: GET /index.html HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: host.domain.com\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n
If this is a production application, please do not use the ICMP monitor as it will only tell you if the server itself is responding to ICMP but nothing about the application itself.
Try this and if it does not work, I recommend using a tool such as fiddler to view HTTP requests and responses. Then to take it a step further, I would add an expected receive string such as HTTP/1.1 200 OK or something in the web server response. I am running a web server pool using this health monitor so I am hoping it works for your environment as well. Let me know either way.
GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: smp.interglobe.com\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n
