NimbostratusOK - lets see (bear with me, I am not one of the application writers !)
In the first instance, we need to do a basic monitor on the server for the .asmx page. I believe this is achievable by using the SOAP monitor, but as yet have had no feedback on how this would be configured i.e. what the fields are expecting to be filled with.
Once we have determined the node is up in the pool, we then want to check other aspects of the application to ensure that it is doing more than purely responding to the initial page request. I think this needs either iRules to manipulate the data, or iControl to monitor the app in depth and report back - the only thing is I have not done this before and was hoping for some guidance and pointers, with maybe an example.
