The above steps might not exactly work, but are good enough to point you in the right directions.

 

STEPS:

 

  1. Copy the script
  2. Paste it on your textpad (notepad, etc)
  3. Import the script System > File Management > External Monitor Program File List
  4. Once the import is completed, a file is automatically generated under /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/external_monitor_d.
  5. In this example the name if the created file is curl_monitor_ex_68725_1
  6. Run the following command
  7. sed -i 's/\r$//' /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/external_monitor_d/\:Common\:curl_monitor_ex_68725_1
  8. Create the monitor and attach it to the pool

 

STEP #7 in an important step. If STEP 7 is skipped then you can see the following errors in /var/log/monitors/<name> (if monitor logging is enabled)
