Need a new HTTP health monitor configured for POST inplace of XML script.

Could someone please help me to create an HTTP application health monitor to send a POST request that should similar working as below XML script. This is eating huge amount of CPU on my LTM pairs.

 

 

That's why I decided to change the monitor, Post I created a new monitor with Send string:

 

POST /cgi-bin/brb.exe HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: \r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\nRezViewAmfTestRQ User TokenVER||0

 

 

&

 

 

Recieve string:

 

RESPONSE.rver.RCD

 

 

Interval: 60

 

Timeout: 181

 

 

Unfortunately it doesn't work, Some of the pool status is coming online after sometime but not for all.

 

 

Below is the post pinger XML script which we are using for monitoring.

 

 

cat post_pinger

these arguments supplied automatically for all external pingers:

 

$1 = IP (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn notation or hostname)

 

$2 = port (decimal, host byte order)

 

$3 and higher = additional arguments

 

 

In this sample script, $3 is the regular expression

 

 

 

pidfile="/var/run/pinger.$1..$2.pid"

 

 

if [ -f $pidfile ]

 

then

 

kill -9 `cat $pidfile` > /dev/null 2>&1

 

fi

 

 

node_ip=`echo $1 | sed 's/::ffff://'`

 

 

echo "$$" > $pidfile

 

 

/usr/bin/monitors/post "http://$node_ip:$2/cgi-bin/brb.exe" < /usr/bin/monitors/pegs_xmlgw.txt | grep RESPONSE.rver.RCD

 

 

status=$?
