Edit Monitoring Scripts Subsection; Virtual Servers - Red Hat ENTERPRISE LINUX 4 Manual

1.10.4.3. EDIT MONITORING SCRIPTS Subsection

Click on the MONITORING SCRIPTS link at the top of the page. The EDIT MONITORING 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 1.38. 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.
