FortiADC detection based on response

[nbctcp]

Hi,

In F5, I can set it to detect failure of web server based on response.

For example, sometime web service is up but database server that it connect to is down.

F5 can be programmed so that it can detect if it access this page, the response should be this.

QUESTIONS:

1. can FortiADC do that instead of detect port alive or can be pinged

Yes you can get the ADC to detect if a certain response is received from the web server. I've attached a picture that shows the default example where it expects 'receive-string' to be returned from the web server with a status code of 200. If this does not get returned then the web server is deemed as being down.

• ICMP • TCP Echo • TCP • HTTP • HTTPS • DNS • RADIUS • SMTP • POP3 • IMAP4 • RADIUS Accounting • FTP • TCP Half Open • TCP SSL • SNMP
