NimbostratusIs there a way to verify the health of a website (port 80) with a GET request by using the FQDN of the pool member? Currently, the F5 is sending the request of the pool member based on its IP address.
EmployeeDo you mean the host header in the request ? if yes just create a monitor and add the host header with your fqdn in the send string.
If you mean the monitor should resolve the fqdn to ip before sending, we work in a slightly different way. you can starting with 11.6 define fqdn pool members, bigip will periodically resolve the fqdn to ip addresses, but your monitors will keep test the member ip address.
CirrusYou can use something like this within the HTTP monitor "send string":
GET /index.html HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: host.domain.com\r\nConnection: Close\r\nReference: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/300/sol13397.html
