HTTP Monitor - Host Value
Hi,
I've been scouring the forums for an answer to this but with no luck!
Can anyone detail if it is possible, within a HTTP monitor that's used on a pool to include the IP of the target node as the host value, rather than blank as is the default, for example in the below situation:
HTTP-Monitor
Send String:HEAD /index.htm HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: \r\nConnection: Close\r\n
TestPool
Server1 - 1.1.1.1:80
Server2 - 2.2.2.2:80
When the F5 issues the send string, is it possible to send the monitor string as:
HEAD /index.htm HTTP/1.1\r\nHost1.1.1.1: \r\nConnection: Close\r\n for Server1
HEAD /index.htm HTTP/1.1\r\nHost:2.2.2.2 \r\nConnection: Close\r\n for Server2
We've a whole host of servers that will not respond to probes where the Host: value is left blank.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
Thanks
- nitassEmployeei don't think default monitor supports it.
- hooleylistCirrostratusYou might also try an HTTP 1.0 send string without a host header:

- nitassEmployeei never used external monitor in production (since i don't need to take care of bigip :p)
