Keep alive page is always best option to monitor application from LB with receive/disable string. Ask application to team to create simple page in server with OK string and configure http/https lb monitor accordingly.

Actually for the OP to not get confused. Dont just put OK as string. Because when the LTM monitor looks for a string, it looks for in the 1st 5120 bytes of data. So even a 200 OK will mark the pool members as UP. So be specific with your string to mark the server up and for draining with recv-disable. Cheers.
