HTTP GET MONITORING through to DB Backend

Hi,

 

 

I am attempting to setup a monitor to check through tomcat application through to the DB as obviously if I only monitor the front-end tomcat application and the DB goes down or hangs or whatever then the LB does not know about it and continues to assume everything is fine.

 

 

 

The correct check should not only test tomcat but test all the way through to the DB.

 

 

I have attempted to try the following http monitor:

 

SEND STRING: GET saturn/gateway/webin/https?msisdn=4089049051&shortCode=73163&message=lee32&operatorId=31002&ret_override=Simplewire&username=lee&password=esposo

 

RECEIVE STRING: 200

 

 

However this fails. What I cannot figure out is what the recieve string should be as there is no text/html response it only gives an http 200 OK response which this http monitor does not seem to recognize which is strange seeing as it is an HTTP monitor.

 

I've tried it with no response string, 200 response, 200 OK, OK, port alias, no port alias and nothing works. I've triple verified the get string is correct and works fine with jmeter and a web browser.

 

 

Is there a way to do this via iRule or regular monitor that anyone could point me to or help me with?

 

 

Sincerely,
