That should indeed work. You might want to check the interval and timeout values for the monitor. Typically, the interval should be set to 5 seconds or greater and the timeout should be set to 3 times the interval plus one second (16 seconds if the interval is 5 seconds).

 

 

Also, it might be better to use an HTTP 1.1 formatted request so you can instruct the server to close the connection.

 

 

See SOL3224 on AskF5.com (Click here) for additional info.

 

 

The configuration guide section on HTTP monitors should also provide more detail.
