Telnet ecv?

I'm looking to setup a simple telnet ecv that will check for the following banner:

 

 

2BladeLogic A/S v1.0 (BLManager Version: 6.3.1.227)

 

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Pete -

     

     

    (Hopefully soon we'll have a monitoring forum, but your question is off-topic for this forum.)

     

     

    But to get you started in the right direction, I think what you'll need to do is create a "scripted monitor" in LTM, which is basically an expect script, to interact with the telnet server and pull the banner. (Click here) or create an external monitor that's a shell script using expect in the same fashion (if you want to just check the banner, the 2nd might be more straightforward.)
