Monitor node exchange 2016

Hi ,

 

We have 1 virtual server exchange 2016 with 4 nodes . yesterday one of these nodes was pingable but no interface page login . and then , f5 didn't put the node DOWN .

 

How can i create a health monitor who check if the interface login isn't joinable to turn the node down on F5 ?

 

can i use this :

 

send string : GET /owa/\r\n

 

receive string : OutlookSession=

 

reverse : yes

 

did this can work to check if the interface is displayed or no to turn the node down or no ?

 

Thank you

    Hey!

    Have you checked out the Deployment Guide for Exchange 2016? It has a complete guide over Health Monitors.

    It is located here:

    Deploying F5 with Microsoft Exchange 2016 Mailbox Servers

    What is basically says is to use the following settings:

    Type: HTTP (SSL Offload) HTTPS (SSL Bridging)

    Interval: 30 (recommended)

    Timeout: 91 (recommended)

    Send String: GET /owa/healthcheck.htm HTTP/1.1\r\nHost:owa.example.com\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\

    Receive String: 200 OK

    I hope this helps! 🙂
