Monitoring
Method

Description

Example
HTTP 200 OK In
this mode, a TCP connection is made to the content server as above, but
after connection is made, a brief HTTP request is made to the content
server.

A HTTP response is waited for and it is checked for the “200
OK” response code. If the “200 OK” response code is received, the
content server is deemed to be up and running. If, for any reason, the
“200 OK” response code is not received, including timeouts, failure to
connect, etc. then the content server is regarded as down.

This
monitoring method can only really be used with HTTP and Accelerate HTTP
service types, although if a Layer 4 Service Type is in use for an HTTP
server, it could still be used if SSL is not in use on the content
server, or is handled appropriately by the “Content SSL” facility.

 Name:

200OK


Description

Check production web
site


Monitoring Method:

HTTP 200 OK


Page Location:

/main/index.html
OR

Required Content:

N/A
HTTP Response In
this mode, a connection and HTTP request/response are made/checked for
as above, but instead of the “200 OK” response code being checked for,
a custom text is searched for in both the HTTP headers, and the body of
the HTTP response.

The text can be a whole header, part of a header, a
line from part of a page, or just one word. If the text is found, the
content server is deemed to be up and running.

This monitoring method
can only really be used with HTTP and Accelerate HTTP service types,
although if a Layer 4 Service Type is in use for an HTTP server, it
could still be used if SSL is not in use on the content server, or is
handled appropriately by the “Content SSL” facility.
