Posted by pwidman 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 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.
