Unable to monitor webserver with Siteminder,

Hi,     We tried to create http_monitor to monitor webservers with siteminder, we keep getting error 500 from the servers. I am not sure if there is something missing from your script.   ...

Which LTM version are you running? If you're on 9.3 - 10.1.0, can you try removing the trailing \r\n's:

 

 

GET /unavailable_up.html HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: \r\nConnection: close

 

 

And if that doesn't work, it's possible that the pool members require a valid host header value. If that's the case, can you hardcode the Host header value (replacing www.example.com with the actual Host the servers require):

 

 

GET /unavailable_up.html HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.example.com\r\nConnection: close
