NimbostratusHow to setup a monitor in LTM
Hello,
I have the following URL http://172.24.128.60:8082/service_status.html Normally, this URLs will return "Service Status is GOOD". When an application on a webserver will be updated, the webserver URL will return "Service Status is MAINTENANCE" and the pool member will be taken offline.
Being new to setting up monitors. What will be the format of "send string" and the "receive string" in this scenario. Thanks for the help.

Hello,
You need to configure an http monitor with the following settings :
- send string : GET /service_status.html HTTP/1.1\r\nConnection:Close\r\n
- receive string : Service Status is GOOD
- Receive Disable String : Service Status is MAINTENANCE
You can left everything else with default values. You attach the monitor to the pool or pool member 172.24.128.60:8082
You can also force this IP and port within the monitor by setting :
- Alias Address
- Alias Service Port
ReynaldoQ_14206Thanks.Yann.- Yann_Desmarest_For the Alias Address and Alias Service Port, you may want to do an http request on a destination and port that is not the one used in your pool member. By default, the wildcard value on those fields indicates that you will take the ip and port of the pool member that is assigned this monitor
