HTTP Monitor that follows redirects

Just a quick update - I ran the external script from an SSH session at the LTM and ran it with the "sh -x" command in front. I was better able to see the output.

 

 

Although I initially receive a 401 Unauthorized, there is a second attempt which uses the same NTLM credentials and then results in a 200 OK. My grep search string was for "200 OK" and even though I clearly saw it in the output, the result was that it wasn't seen and thus marked the node down. I changed the grep search string to a few other items expected on the page itself and ended up with the correct UP response.

 

 

Trial and error to say the least!
