After two weeks ups and downs ,I got an External monitor configured for one of our application .,I have followed below steps to get this done.
Step 1 :Logged into node under /config/monitors created a file with httpmonitor_curl_post and added below script
remove IPv6/IPv4 compatibility prefix (LTM passes addresses in IPv6 format)
NODE=`echo ${1} | sed 's/::ffff://'`
PORT=${2}
PIDFILE="/var/run/`basename ${0}`.${NODE}_${PORT}.pid"
kill of the last instance of this monitor if hung and log current pid
if [ -f $PIDFILE ]
then
echo "EAV exceeded runtime needed to kill ${IP}:${PORT}" | logger -p local0.error
kill -9 `cat $PIDFILE` > /dev/null 2>&1
fi
echo "$$" > $PIDFILE
send request & check for expected response
curl -fNs http://${NODE}:${PORT}${URI} -d "${DATA}" | grep -i "${RECV}" 2>&1 > /dev/null
curl -fNs -i -L -H "Host: ${HOST}" "http://${NODE}:${PORT}${URI}" -b cookies.txt -d "${DATA}" | grep -i "${RECV}" 2>&1 > /dev/null
mark node UP if expected response was received
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo "UP"
fi
rm -f $PIDFILE
exit
Step 2: Logged into F5 GUI mode and created a external monitor with name http_Curl_post and under external monitor added the one which I created in step 1 ( httpmonitor_curl_post)
Step 3: Under Variables added
Host= hostname:port
URI=complete URL after .com
DATA= timezoneOffset=-330&userid=username&pwd=Password
RECV= Keyword which it need to check
Step 4 :Assign this external monitor to the pool.
I would like to say thanks Nobel & Nitass for helping on this.
