NimbostratusNeed to create a custom health monitor
Hello, I need to create a health monitor for our kronos app, the kronos tech gave the below info but I do not know how to implement it. Can please help?
Thanks Bill In regards to Application Awareness, you can setup a Health Monitor on the Load Balancer to use Kronos’ XML API. Kronos’ XML API can be used to check the status of WFC. That way, if the load balancer checks the status of WFC application, then the load balancer can distribute the load to an online WFC system.
1 Use HTML function or an embedded function from within the Load Balancer to post the following XML API request to the WFC system (Note: Once I complete the install, I can provide the URL & password to post the XML):
2 Observe the response to verify success – see sample response below.
{"pingWithDB":34}
3 This validates that the application server is online and able to process requests, and that load balanced traffic may continue to be sent to the WFC system.

Hello Bill,
First you will need to get the URL to monitor.
Then you can use a script based on curl and reference it in an external monitor.
But you will need to adapt it using "POST" method
Or using a standard http monitor :
