health monitor IIS

Hello,

 

I was wondering if someone can shed some light on a health monitor I am trying to setup. Ill give a brief overview of the setup.

 

We have an application that gets proxied via apache ( apache are the nodes in the pool being monitored, acts as proxy nothing more) to IIS where the application actually lives.

 

I am trying to setup a monitor so that it monitors say an index.html page on the IIS server something along the lines of

 

Send string - http://Portal/dir/index.html receive string - IIS is up

 

Tried to use this but nodes fail the health check when applying the monitor to the pool

 

The service ports that its monitoring for are https

 

Any help is greatly appreciated

 

Thanks

    have you tried doing a curl -v https://.... from the big-ip and check if you get the right response?

     

    also you mention https but in your send string it says http://, i believe the http:// or https:// isn't need there anyway, you do a get /... without the http(s).

    you can use a custom http monitor, "GET /index.html". you have to look for a static text in the html page to apply the status of the node. for example, title of the page or a html tag, '', etc. Look up here - http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/ltm_configuration_guide_10_0_0/ltm_monitors.html1209612

     

    Hope, this answers.

    Can you please try below send string and receive string: Send string: GET /test.html HTTP/1.1\nHost:\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n Receive string: IIS is up

     

    Change host to your local FQDN name and HTML and receive string also according to your configurations.
