It will be same as how you build your normal https monitor with username & password, only the send string will differ,,,

POST  HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.company.com\r\nUser-Agent: BIG-IP Monitor\r\nAccept-Encoding: identity\r\nConnection: Close\r\nContent-Type: application/json\r\n\r\n{\n\"customerId\": \"123456\",\n\"itemId\": \"67894\",\n\"suppressError\": \"1\"\n}\n

Refer to the below codeshare, I use it often.
