Montoring https port in windows server 2012 is not working with F5

Hi midhun,

in addition to Michael´s detailed answer I would also consider the server expects a request via TLS with SNI (server name indication).

There is an article with description of an external monitor using openssl s_client here on DevCentral.

You can validate it from CLI by using the following syntax:

openssl s_client -connect : -servername  -quiet  

Now openssl establishes a connection using TLS with SNI attribute and you can paste in a valid request followed by two Carriage Return / New Lines (aka Enter):

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: 
Connection: close
  

I had to use the described solution in a customer´s SharePoint environment and just added the ability to work in route domains. It works great on v11.5.1 since a couple of months.

Thanks, Stephan
