Health Monitor is creating a new session id on the application

Hi,

 

We have a test jsp page which is setup as a health monitor on the application to check the status of the instances on the F5. This health monitor is causing the application to create a new session everytime and its not expiring the session.

 

I'm new to irules so I want to check in devcentral before I add this in my env. Please let me know if the below code is okay or it needs few tweaks in it.

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    set uri [HTTP::uri]

  if { $uri ends_with "check.jsp" } {
    HTTP::cookie remove mysession
  }
 }
application delivery
devops

    maybe change the code of the page to not use/create a session on any connection/request to the page...

     

    what platform is serving the jsp's?

    not sure if i understand correctly but application is the one who creates session when getting request from f5's health monitor, isn't it? so, how can irule address this issue?

     

    am i lost?
