I dont see any issues, but use this below if you feel its fine,

  • you need not specify defaults-from https, because its a https is the default parameter, unless you want someother custom parent to be used, then use the defaults-from.

  • Same applies for the destination, ":" is the default value.

tmsh create ltm monitor https NEW_HTTPS_MONITOR { send "GET /wfc/applications/suitenav/navigation.do HTTP/1.1\\r\\nUser-Agent: BigIP\\r\\nHost: applicationname.com\\r\\nConnection: close\\r\\n\\r\\n" "200 OK"}

How about the intervals and timeout, are you going with the default values.

Edit: Hey sorry I just noticed there's no HTTP Version ( HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1) in your send string, so if you go with your original send request, it will fail.

If you are going with HTTP/1.0, you need not have other HTTP headers like host close agent etc.
