spaces in http monitor recieve string?

I have an http monitor with the recieve string of "TEST BLAH" (without quotes) - this will fail. If I change the receive string to "TEST" or "BLAH" it will succeed. I've tried these other patterns ...

I apologize for the following "you probably already checked these but i don't know that" questions...

 

I use a lot of monitors looking for response code strings like "200 OK", which are configured as receive strings and work as expected:

 

  1. Are you sure it's a single space between TEST and BLAH, and not multiple spaces or a different whitespace character?
  2. Have you tried using curl and then copying/pasting the expected response into the receive string?
  3. Have you tried looking for other text on the health check page that contain similar text?
