Health Monitor - POST xml

Mark Cronin -- 9/11/2015

Please can you help -

I am trying to create a health script that POSTs an XML request to a server and expects
a 200 OK code back.

Here is the XML reqest

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><Request type="Heartbeat"><Field name="ChainCode">191</Field><Field name="PropertyCode">191</Field><Field name="SequenceNumber">228103999</Field></Request>

Here is the XML reply - I used curl with -v option to get output

C:\cURL\bin>curl -v -k --request POST --header "Content-type: text/xml" --data @heartbeat.xml http://10.254.129.19:1011
* Rebuilt URL to: http://10.254.129.19:1011/

Can you please help me convert this in to a A10 health script - I am not sure if we can do this via normal health monitors or if I need to create an external script
