Application Health Check Monitoring - Possible?
I am facing this dilema,
Ideally, F5 monitors each request and any connect error, read timeout means that server is to be blacklisted and the test requests will be used to monitor when the server can be enabled.
The post request xml is as follows:
6/6/20136/7/2013396866880505
And post it to following:
The checkIn and checkout should be dates later than today and atleast 1 day apart.
You can look at the following url for the test request
Check for the http response code. Anything other than 200 means that server will remain blacklisted. This request will test not just the server is up but also it is able to make database connections etc.
Is this something possible? I know that with a custom HC I can send strings to the server and check for a response ( which is easy to do if I create a receive string matching to a regex ) but I am not sure about the post request..
