NimbostratusHealth monitor question for this requirement!!
Hello there, I have a requirement where in, the monitoring port will be different from the traffic forwarding ports, please refer below example and advise.
F5 front end port Backend server port mapped on the F5
443 40050
80 56645
1002 67754
We will enable the above services, and each service will be load balanced to 3 servers,
for health monitor of all the services, we will be using something like http://serverip:10027/health,
it will respond with a string as "OK", please advise on creation of health monitor to be used in the pools?
I will most likely need to use alias port as 10027, but what would be the send string?
Thanks in advance --

no need to specify the port number in the send string. Please see below link from dev central very informative.
sathish_2826Thanks Kevin, if i specify the port number in the alias port number section of the monitor and set send string as "get /health" and select type as HTTP, will it work ?
I am still seeing the members down.

I am not sure how you configured your send string below is an example of one
Send string "GET /hello HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: abc.123.com\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n"
Receive string "Hello World"
in your case try "GET /health HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: serverip\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n"
receive string "200"
