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?

I removed the TLS and SSL outputs. Does it mean I should also add "HTTP/1.1 200 ok" in receive string or only "ok" just to make sure it detects the correct string to keep the pool member up.
