Receive String - which documentation did you use for that? the | means or, it is either 200 or OK. which you probably don't want. if you are just looking for HTTP return code 200 then HTTP/1.1 200 OK is fine. for the others it is more difficult to judge without actual output.

 

this comes mainly down to how your application responds, perform a regular request to it and check the response to see what a good match would be.

 

Send String - if you dont want to add the hostname then drop that whole part, so like this:

 

GET /Sample/healthchecksimple HTTP/1.1\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n

though formally this isn't allowed for a HTTP/1.1 request. it also depends on the way your application is setup, it might require a hostname or wont respond correctly without one.

 

best is to test this with curl or such from a system to see what happens with the different variants.

The documentation is provided by Application Vendor and I've tested as below. The Receive string is "ok".

 

do I need to mentioned in Receive string as "200 OK" or only "OK" ? is it case sensitive?

 

config # curl -k http://X.X.X.X:8445/Sample/healthchecksimple

Bad Request

This combination of host and port requires TLS.

config # curl -k https://X.X.X.X:8445/Sample/healthchecksimple

ok

 

--------------

I'm struggling to configure Send string. do i need to select HTTP or HTTP monitor?

 

I've tried few syntax but still failing.

 

GET /Sample/healthchecksimple HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: \r\n\r\n

 

GET /Sample/healthchecksimple HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: xyz.ab.com\r\n\r\n

 

GET /Sample/healthchecksimple HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: xyz.ab.com\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n

 

is it mandatory to use xyz.ab.com after Host: for HTTP 1.1 ? any suggestions?
