I see potentially three option:

 

  1. Considering this is part of the health check process, you could switch to an external monitor and use a Bash script to cURL the remote resource. This would get triggered when the health monitor fails.

     

  2. You could launch an iCall (or user_alert.conf) process to initiate a cURL request. This would get triggered from an iRule condition (generally a syslog message).

     

  3. You could fire off a sideband call within an iRule. This would get triggered within an iRule condition and as part of the application flow.
