HTTP Monitor not working
I have a very simple HTTP monitor configured that isn't working. When looking in the IIS logs the F5 isn't sending the send string and I can change the send string to anything "GET /blablabla" and the node continues to stay up. I'm running v11.4.1. The configuration of the monitor is as such:
ltm monitor http aoc-web-http-10000 { defaults-from http destination *:ndmp interval 5 send "GET /css.htm" time-until-up 0 timeout 16
I do have an alias port configured for 10000 which for some reason doesn't show in this configuration but it is set. The only way I can take the node down is to setup a receive string that is incorrect but I don't believe I should have to have a receive string in order to verify if the server is responding on port 10000 and the F% is getting a response from the send string. If I telnet from the F5 to the server and issue the same GET query it works but the monitor doesn't. Some help would be really nice, i'm sure i'm missing something small.
