Explanation
The default F5 HTTP monitor has no receive string configured, so any HTTP response from the server - even unexpected content - is treated as a successful health check.
Common mistakes.
- A. A pool member would only go offline (red) if a configured receive string is not found in the server's response or if the server fails to respond at all - neither of which applies when using the default monitor with no receive string.
- C. Unknown (blue) status indicates a monitor has not yet executed or is in an unconfigured/disabled state, not the outcome of receiving an unexpected HTTP response.
- D. Monitor results are deterministic within each polling interval; the status does not alternate unless the server intermittently passes and fails the health check across separate probe intervals.
