NimbostratusHi
We need to create TCP health checks on an LTM device that checks the health of a VIP running on an LTMi device. I'm not sure how the send and receive strings should look. Wondering if anyone would have an example similar to this.
Thanks
Adrian
Nacreoussend string is simple text but receive string is in regular expression format.

if youre not familiar with programming, i suggest you ask help from app developer team.
just like the industry name suggest, i.e. application delivery controller, bigip is actually very application layer so it's normal that application team is involved in the configuration.
MVPHi Adrian,
Are you trying to monitor a VIP on F5? Why not monitor the pool members instead?
Check out this article below for crafting strings for tcp monitors.

In addition, most of the time the default tcp profile works perfectly except you're expecting a particular echo response from the servers.
