[ggarza_345867]

Im having trouble getting a https health monitor to work.. below is what the developers wants but I just cant get it working...when I browse to the page I do see the Initialized message page...I would appreciate any help on this please. !

For healthcheck: curl https://testbizapp8l.mybiz.com:8083/api/v1/_ping

Return string: Initialized

Few tips:

• Perform telnet to the pool member first.

telnet 2.2.2.2:8083

• If the above passes, then make curl test to see whats the data you get,

curl -kv https://2.2.2.2:8083/api/v1/_ping

When you run the above, you should see the string

Initialized

, if you dont see that it means, the backend server is not returning it.

• If you think that server does returns the string

  Initialized

  but still LTM is not finding it, there is a limititation to it too only if the string is placed after 5,120 bytes into HTTP data. Refer the below article, if this applies in your case.

K3451: Content length limits for HTTP and HTTPS health monitors

Is your ltm pool marking your server as up or down for now ?

• If your ltm pool is marked down, try changing the recv string to

  200 OK
