Multiple return strings

I need to set up an HTTP monitor that will get a custom return string based on the current state of the site, i.e. offline, maintenance, or up states all return different status messages.

 

 

How can I check for any of the 3 states and if none are returned take the server out of the VIP. Is this something I can do by modifying the built in HTTP monitor or will I have to write a custom monitoring script?

 

 

I'm sure this has been done many, many times and should be an easy solution, but my search turned up zilch.

 

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

    The receive string of a standard monitor can be a regex, so you can use something like this to check for first_string, second_string or third_string:

     

     

    (?:first_string|second_string|third_string)
