While it's not well documented, the HTTP monitor will accept any response (including 302's). However, you can control this behavior by using RegEx in the Receive String. For example, I use the following (and use HTTP >= 1.0):
^HTTP.1\.[0|1]\s([2|3][0-9][0-9])
Which marks the monitor as up for any HTTP code 200-399.

If that's the case, then I'll point you to the LTM monitors reference (https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/ltm-monitors-reference-11-5-0/3.htmlunique_475041279):
"Note: If you do not specify both a Send String and a Receive String, the monitor performs a simple service check and connect only."
