Hi,

 

 

I have a small question regarding the receive string as well.

 

I'm trying to setup a http monitor at a F5 GTM 9.4.8 HF4, which should detect the following string:

 

"running (lb)"

 

I tried different strings in the receive string field, but none worked:

 

"running \(lb\)" - escaping the brakets

 

"running (lb) - without escaping the brakets

 

The only receive string that worked is "running" but this is not sufficient, because I need to catch the "(lb)" part as well.

 

 

If I test the string "running (lb)" against the regex "running \(lb\)" at http://www.sweeting.org/mark/html/revalid.php I get a match, but the LTM marks the server as down.

 

 

BR
