URL monitoring problem

2 different web servers have to be monitored by LTM with version 10.2.0.

 

1 is 10.10.1.32 with monitoring URL http://10.10.1.32/Web/status.htm. It returns "Running" and I turn on debug with following messages.

ose\r\n\r\n"

 

}

 

 

 

 

Actually this monitor works find.

 

 

 

However I have another similar monitor which does not work properly. 10.10.1.12 with monitoring URL http://10.10.1.12/health/health.aspx. It returns "OK" and my monitor is configured to match "OK". When the server returns "NOTOK" on purpose, the monitor still deem the response as matched, with following debug message.

  • Nice catch, Nitass.. Just found this SOL3618:

  • Nice work in catching that Nitass. But I'd still expect \r\nOK to work only when the pool member returns OK as part of the payload as the 200 OK isn't an OK following a CR LF.

     

     

    Odd...
