301b Exam - Question 153

Question

-- Exhibit-- Exhibit --Refer to the exhibit. An HTTP monitor always marks the nodes in the pool as down. The monitor's definition and the HTTP headers from the monitor request and response are provided. What is the issue?

Examice · Accepted Answer

The issue lies in the fact that the HTTP monitor is not configured to follow the redirect. The response from the server is an HTTP 301 Moved Permanently, which indicates a redirect to a different URL. Since the monitor does not follow the redirect, it never receives the expected '200 OK' response and therefore marks the nodes as down.

There is no 200 OK in the response, do I miss something here?

SimonR2 · Answer

From what I can see, it looks like the webmail URI is missing the trailing slash in the send string so the webserver is sending a redirect

GVKD · Answer

B - Correct

Modifying the monitor send string to issue a request to the redirection target

To correct the redirection target issue, modify the health monitor send string to send a request for the redirection target instead of the page which generates the redirect or refresh.
