Nimbostratusrtsp monitoring
Hi!
I found a description of a monitor to RTSP. However I am having trouble interpreting it. This is the monitor:
monitor RTSP-TCP {
defaults from tcp
recv "200 OK"
send "OPTIONS /sample_100kbit.mp4 RTSP/1.0\nCSeq: 1\n\n"
}
Does it mean that i have to configure a TCP monitor, fill the send string field with OPTIONS /sample_100kbit.mp4 RTSP/1.0\nCSeq: 1\n\n and the rcv string field with 200 OK?
Thanks in advance
renato_76504I have added the refered monitor with receive string = 200 OK.
However when I stop the associated publishing point on Windows Media server, the member status remain green.
When I sniff the network I see that after the string is sent, I allways get 200 OK. The difference comes in subsequent packets.
How can I differentiate the two Publishing Point status?

You would want to configure the receive string to be a string found only in good responses. There is a limit to how many bytes the monitoring daemon, bigd, will check for the receive string. I searched on AskF5, but couldn't find the value. I think it's around 1000 bytes though.
Aaron- hoolio is correct, set your Receive string to a value that is found in a subsequent packet only when the server is healthy.
LTM will examine up to 5MB (5120 bytes) of the response for a match. AskF5 solution 3451 has the details: Click here
