Monitor question: 302 after login on Solarwinds Orion
I'm trying to write a health monitor (LTM 11.4.1 HF2) for the Solarwinds Orion web interface where I'm passing login credentials in the URI portion of the GET which looks like this:
GET /Orion/Login.aspx?AccountID=username&Password=password
Upon success of that, the IIS server sends back a 302 redirecting to another URI (/Orion/SummaryView.aspx?ViewID=1). My health monitor doesn't seem to work no matter what receive string I look for. If I have it look for content in the second URI, it fails. If I have it look for "Object moved" in the first URI, it fails. My send string looks like this:
GET /Orion/Login.aspx?AccountID=username&Password=password HTTP/1.1\nHost: hostname.fqdn\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n
If anyone has any experience with Solarwinds (or similar 302 redirects after login) send and receive string monitors, I'd certainly appreciate any pointers.
Thanks in advance, Roy

Roy,
Two things, I'd change the monitor to a HTTP 1.1 one, as default f5 health monitors are v0.9.
So something like this:
GET /Orion/Login.aspx?AccountID=username&Password=password HTTP/1.1\r\nHost:\r\nConnection: Close\r\nAccept: /\r\n\r\n
Hopefully my syntax is correct here.
Also, take a look at the following link as it may help Troubleshooting Health Monitors
Hope this helps,

Yes, the redirect page returns:
Object moved
Prior to realizing there was a redirect, I looked for the string "Orion Summary Home" which is content from the page the browser is redirect to. Then I tried "Object moved" for the receive string yet the monitor still failed.
Thanks, Roy

Roy, the receive string when monitoring a client with a redirect should be something on the redirect page. I see you've tested this and it doesn't work.
Have you tried running Curl from the f5 to see what is being returned on the redirect page?
