Negation Monitor

Hi, probably my question is dumb but I´m in doubt...

 

 

I need to create a monitor that when return an expected string returns down and disable the pool member.

 

 

What what the rule for the monitors if it´s ok must return UP string, right? and if it´s wrong, it can return any string or it must be DOWN or something else?

    Actually if it returns anything to STDIN, the monitor is considered up. A lot of the templates on here use echo "UP" in the script, but that's really just a convention, not a requirement.

     

     

    So for yours, you want to check the status of your request, and if you see that string, you don't want to return anything to STDIN, just let it time out.
