Hi Hari,

Does this URL return status 200 when you send the request directly from your browser?

You should use the exact URL here.  If the URL is fine, then check with your server team why server is responding with 400. The syntax looks fine. You can also take a pcap on server and see what is ACE sending for probe.

instead of the entire url can i try something like this

request method get url /eml/HealthCheckServlet

Hi Hari,

Yes you can use like  that.

Hi Kanwal,

When you configure like this 'request method get url /eml/HealthCheckServlet' where do we mention the destination port?

[Kanwaljeet Singh]

Hi,

You define the port in probe. If you don't define the probe then probe inherits the port from the servers in serverfarm to which it is associated. Otherwise by default it is port 80.
