I always start my regex development at

 

regex101.com

 

(\"elasticsearch\")(.*)(\n\B)(\s*.*\n\B)(\s*\"status\": \"green\")

 

matches the first stanza.

 

It gets harder from there ...

    Could the issue actually be in the formatting of my GET string?

     

    Here is the URL the DEV OPS Team gave me:

    HTTPS:// rldimedas1.tcbna.net/rest/apigateway/health/all

     

    Here is how I formatted the Send String:

    GET /rest/apigateway/health/all HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: rldimedas1.tcbna.net\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n

     

    This request requires a username and password so they have been entered
