An LTM Specialist defines a receive string in the HTTP monitor and then assigns it to the HTTP pool. The monitor has an interval of 5 seconds and a timeout of 16 seconds.
If the receive string is NOT seen in the the HTTP payload after 20 seconds, how does the LTM device mark the monitor status?
The LTM Specialist is writing a custom HTTP monitor for a web application and has viewed the content by accessing the site directly via their browser. The monitor continually fails. The monitor configuration is:
ltm monitor http /Common/exampleComMonitor {
defaults-from /Common/http
destination *:*
interval 5
recv "Recent Searches"
send "GET /app/feed/current\?uid=20145 HTTP/1.1\\r\\nHost: gzip, deflate\\r\\nConnection: close\\r\\n\\r\\n"
time-until-up 0
timeout 16
}
A trace shows the following request and response:
Request:
GET /app/feed/current?uid=20145 HTTP/1.1
Host
Accept-Encoding gzip, deflate
Connection: close
Response:
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
