Okay, well you're only showing the headers of the response, but you can still work with this. If you were to use an HTTPS monitor, the Send String might look like this:

GET /arsys/servlet/LoginServlet?goto=http://XYZLM01:8080/arsys/forms/remXYZapp/SHR%3ALandingConsole/Default+Administrator+View/?format=html&server=remXYZapp&username=XUSER&pwd=XUSER HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost\r\n\r\n

The Receive String could then perhaps look like this:

Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=

This assumes 1) that the pool members that this monitor is applied to are listening on an HTTPS port (8443?), and 2) that the JSESSIONID cookie is only set if the request is good. Try a few variations to observe any differences in the response (ie. remove or make the credentials wrong). You can of course get a lot more specific than this, but I'd start here to just make sure it works.
