Hi Marcus,

 

I recommend you to send something more specific than "2" or "1".

 

Because the sytem applies a grep on the response received for the monitored URL.

 

One letter or one digit will generates a lot of false positive... Instead of responding "1" and "2" configure your server to send for example "hostname.domain.com disabled" and "hostname.domain.com enabled"

 

Then modify you monitor.

 

Give me a feedback

 

Regards
