Nice reference, thanks. I was thinking I saw somewhere we could use hex codes, but I couldn't find the doc in a pinch. Given the way our application infrastructure is designed, there is no other string we can look for. In the end, we tried a simple regular expression that worked fortunately.

It just seems like a simple question like "are recv strings case sensitive?", or "what types of strings can be used in a monitor recv string?" are either very difficult to find, or is not addressed at all in the doc. And that is the type of thing that is really frustrating as a customer. I don't know, maybe my problem is with the search feature of ask.f5.com and not the doc...

 

 

Thanks Hoolio.
