SOAP Monitor

I am trying configuring the health monitor for SOAP service (HTTP POST)? Response is nested & As per F5 KB https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K16982 nested response is not supported. F5 recommendation is "you modify server responses to send required SOAP monitor strings within the top level of the response (non-nested). Alternatively, you can use an HTTP monitor with an iRule for the pool member".

or can someone suggest how to make use of http monitor with i-rule to do healthcheck of SOAP service? & how the i rule will look like?

    Hi,

     

    Normally HTTP/HTTPs monitor support varius of web application e.g. HTML, REST, SOAP.

     

    The send string in monitor profile just put the full SOAP REQUEST in XML format.
