Host header health monitor

[bigipjr28_13978]

Hey,

Would it be possible to get a way without having to declare the host name in the health monitor so that it would cut down on the number of health monitors used. As an example instead of using Host: for each application and just modifying the Host: portion of the send string, would it be possible to just have a standard monitor so that it can be used with all applications instead of having to create a separate monitor for each individual application and modifying Host: portion of the string

send string: GET /f5-monitor/f5-monitor.jsp HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: app.com\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n

receive string: PAGE FOUND

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks

bigipjr28,

From this askf5 solution article Constructing HTTP requests for use with the HTTP or HTTPS application health monitor the Host header can be a null value i.e. blank.

Hope this is what you're after.
