send and recieve string health monitor clearification

Hey guys,

 

I was wondering if I can some clarification on http and https health monitors.

 

  1. The default http and https monitors, do they just send a http request 5 seconds by default. Sending a GET / in the send string.

     

  2. Is the send string in the http monitor sending or is it sending a GET a string ? And is that done in the request headers ?

     

  3. The receive string, is that whats going to be the response headers on the monitor?

     

Any clarification would be helpful

 

Thanks

    Yes. A default monitor sends a GET request to root every 5 secs. Receive string blank by default so any response is a positive one. Response can be in headers or payload (up to 5120 bytes).

     

    Hope this helps
