https monitoring string

Hi There,

I wish to clarify the https monitor profile send string. I have a live https virtual server setup. When I was looking at the configuration of it I saw the monitoring profile set with type:HTTPS and Parent Monitor profile:https. The send string configured was as below.

 

GET /ReportServer HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: xyz.par.ab\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n

 

I came to know that there is a way to test the https response via curl command in F5, but for the above send string how can I decode the exact URL that would be reached out by F5 for health monitoring.

 

Thanks in Advance

  • Hi,

     

    From the string, it would be xyz.par.ab/ReportServer path on https port. You can try this path using curl command through cli on F5.

     

    curl https://xyz.par.ab/ReportServer

  • Thanks Mayor for the reply.

    I'm till skeptical on the URL because I don't anywhere that is calling the host IP address xyz.par.ab is the domain name.

  • What is the pool status where this monitoring profile is configured? /or you are only seeing this custom monitor profile which is no where configured yet.

  • The pool is up configured with this custom profile. Also when they did the maintenance on the member I see the node was marked down, hence the health monitoring working perfectly
