I have a customer who is looking to enable a healthcheck which does the following
host:7287/widmansworld-ping while using a
client generated ssl certificate with PKCS12 (.p12) and a password provided for authentication.
Expected response: Text containing widmansworld=running
All of this can be accomplished health monitor template except for the SSL client certificate.
Here is the cli output:
health monitor widman_https
method https port 7287 username pwidman password encrypted <password omitted> url GET /widmansworld-ping expect widmansworld=running
Question: Can an AFLEX be utilized to create a customized healthcheck?

aFleX is very powerful and flexible.
But aFleX applies to production client traffic and server response only.
aFleX doesn't generate traffic of its own (like a health check).
Now about healthchecks AX offers:
. health monitor templates with many protocol supported (ftp, ldap, snmp, http, https, etc)
. health monitor scripts for even more flexibility (with perl, shell, tcl and python)
You can do https healthchecks with both solutions, but unfortunately not with client certificates.
I let you create a feature request.
Thanks,
