url service status check monitor

HI ADC geeks,

 

looking for a monitor to check the service status (200 OK) for the pool members which send string is url and recv string should be the service 200 OK success code.

 

send "POST ; recv "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"

 

Please suggest me.

 

this type of monitors are usually appliede for the bluecoat proxy servers under the ltm pool.

    Hello,

     

    you want to monitor bluecoat proxy ? or just an web application?

     

    for bluecoat proxy, you can disable authentifcation (On bluecoat) when request is don from your F5 self IP (monitoring).

     

    I advise you to monitor google (we are sure it will stays up :-). And monitor "/robots.txt" uri.

     

    for information: https://moz.com/learn/seo/robotstxt

     

    GET https://www.google.ch/robots.txt HTTP/1.1\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n

     

    And insteand to check status code check directly the content:

     

    "whitelist@google.com"

     

    Regards
