Setting up Pool healthchecks for apps

Hi,   So  i am experimenting with setting up healthchecks to some of our apps that have recently had health check code added in.

essentially the health check for ready will sit at   https://appurl/api/health/ready.

i am trying to setup this monitor for the healthcheck and not sure I am doing this correctly.

Here is my configuration.

type: https

parent: https

send string:   GET /api/health/ready HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: ci-member.domain.com\r\n

receive sting:  HTTP/1.[01] [23]0[0-6]
receive disable string:  Unhealthy

It shows both nodes in pool using the healthcheck as defined above as unhealthy.

when I call the healthcheck for the site  I get this

https://ci-member.domain.com/api/health/ready

"Unhealthy"


a couple of questions.

1.  for sites with ssl termination on the webserver,  I should use type https and parent https correct?

2. Can I use the receive string of   "Healthy"  and receive disable string of  "Unhealthy"

3. Can I pass in the host information that comes into the VIP down to the pool and into the send string so it was more generic like this

send string:   GET /api/health/ready HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: [HTTP::host] \r\n

Otherwise I will need a healthcheck monitor for every app.


thanks in advance.
