1.10.4.3. EDIT MONITORING SCRIPTS Subsection
Click on the MONITORING SCRIPTS link at the top of the page. The EDIT MONI-
TORING SCRIPTS subsection allows the administrator to specify a send/expect string
sequence to verify that the service for the virtual server is functional on each real server. It
is also the place where the administrator can specify customized scripts to check services
requiring dynamically changing data.
Figure 1-35. The EDIT MONITORING SCRIPTS Subsection
Sending Program
For more advanced service verification, you can use this field to specify the path to
a service-checking script. This function is especially helpful for services that require
dynamically changing data, such as HTTPS or SSL.
To use this function, you must write a script that returns a textual response, set it to
be executable, and type the path to it in the Sending Program field.
Note
If an external program is entered in the Sending Program field, then the Send field
is ignored.
