ACE Probe - Imaging checking

[networker99]

We have an ACE 4710 providing load balancer functions for 2x websites.  Is there a way to set up a probe to look for an image on the homepage of the website to deem the site is available.

Thanks in advance

yes you should be able to do it.

You can configure the HTTP method and URL used by the probe by using the request method command. The syntax of this command is as follows:

request method {get | head} url path

By default the url is "/" .

But the only requirement is that you need to have a url for this image. If the image is part of the webpage itself then there is no way to distinguish between the page and the image.

Do I use get or head?

A GET command, and expect a HTTP 200 OK as the status

Hi

I believe you could do this with a very simple tcl script.
