What is the correct send and receive strings syntax for health monitoring of multiple servers in a pool ?

Hi,   I am trying to configure our F5 LB to monitor multiple servers in a pool but having some issues. Can someone help. See below:   Send string GET /maximo/webclient/login/login.jsp HTTP/1.1\...

It uses the host name exactly as it's specified in your send string. The BIG-IP performs a TCP handshake with the pool member/node IP address, then issues the HTTP GET using the send string (which includes the host you specify). The server then responds to that GET request, and the BIG-IP checks the result against its receive string for a determination of health status.
