Here is some interesting findings..

 

 

The same monitor that was tested (successfully) in 4.5.14, failed when it was implemented into production (4.6.4).

 

 

The monitor for some reason fails when the receive string is in place. But if the receive rule is removed, Big-IP reports it UP.

Receive Rule: "Alive.txt"
