LTM - HTTP monitor configuration

Hi,

 

 

How to configure Http/Https monitor to look in to the content of a redirect string.

 

 

example - I am doing Http GET /app/id1 - On the webserver /app/idi is redirected to a different location.

 

 

From the F5 - if i use curl -L i am getting a correct response.

 

 

If anybody expereince this and having a solution please provide the HTTP monitor setting.

 

 

Regards,

 

Rajesh

    I believe in the script where it says "UP" you just use "DOWN"

     

     

    Give that a shot

     

     

    Hope this helps,

    It worked by changing the if statement

     

     

    if[$? -ne 0] instead of if[$? -eq 0].

     

     

    Thanks for your response..it helped
