Health monitoring when using port 0 for persistence

I'm using session persistence across virtual servers with backend HTTPS re-encryption using port 0 on pool members.     Is there way of configuring a health monitor on those pool members?   ...

Thanks Aaron, I've hit some issues trying to get this to work.

 

 

When I apply the new https monitor with 443 as the alias the F5 reports the node as down.

 

 

This may be because we haven't got a proper SSL cert yet, so when you browse to the URL you have to add an exception to get round the invalid certificate. Will this also work if I applied the same change to an http monitor and set the alias to port 80?

 

 

I also wonder if I have a problem with the monitor send string.

 

The old monitor worked with:

 

 

GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: \r\nConnection: Close\r\n

 

 

I tried this without success, and then a string adapted from SOL2167:

 

 

GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: moodle-test.city.ac.uk\r\nConnection: Close

 

 

This also showed the node to be down.
