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
