Hi 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.

send string is simple text but receive string is in regular expression format.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/search#examplesif 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.
