https monitor failing on receive string

Dear Folks,   I am trying to setup an https monitor where we have the send and receive string, when debugging the output using curl, this is the output   < HTTP/1.1 302 Found < Date: Tue, 15 No...

The response is coming from the server, not the F5. So when you get a 302 and there is no mention anywhere of "Welcome!" the health check will fail because the Receive String is not being matched.

 

Perhaps your send string should actually check against the URI you are being redirected to?

    Okay Sorry, I am not sure if I understand this.

     

    The "https" monitor is set to receive the "Welcome!" String from the Server and both the servers in the Pool when accessed directly gives me that string but F5 is not.

    No. When you go direct to the server you get a 302 redirect from the server, as evidenced by the curl output above. But as an end user you do not see that, you just see a page render that says "Welcome!"

     

    But what really happens is the response (and where the receive string will be judged) is a 302 redirect. That is where you would have to match the "Welcome!" string.

     

    Does that clear it up for you?
