try the following: health monitor test-hc   method http port 80 expect “Server\:” url HEAD “/HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n” i tend to use the GUI to do these type translations ![image.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/a10_community/original/1X/a373a127f3a39a8e2db623f3c4fad37f9d307bab.png) ---

in cli you would use \ i would recommend putting your F5 configs into the GUI to do the translation. As you see, it will translate the single \ to a double \ . There are other translations besides the \ that will be easier to translate in GUI (use the GUI first) ---

that output doesn’t match the config. What version of ACOS are you running? here is the config from above with the expected output: dquinn\_vTH1-Active-vMaster[12/1]#sh run health monitor test-hc !Section configuration: 75 bytes      ! health monitor test-hc   method http port 80 expect Server: url HEAD /  ! dquinn\_vTH1-Active-vMaster[12/1]#sh health monitor test-hc Monitor Name:     test-hc Interval:       5 Max Retry:       3 Timeout:        5 Up-Retry:       1 SSL-Ciphers:      DEFAULT      Passive Enable      Status:        Idle Method:        HTTP          Attribute:       port=80               url=“HEAD /”             expect-text=Server:
