Citrix Gateway 13 Administration — Question 11

Scenario: A Citrix Administrator is configuring balancing on a NetScaler appliance for the company web servers. The administrator needs to create a custom monitor that will look for a specific keyword response from the website and will be used to keep the services in an UP state.
Which type of monitor can the administrator create to accomplish this scenario?

Answer options

• A. An HTTP-ECV monitor with the keyword in the Special Parameters- Receive String field.
• B. A customer TCP-ECV monitor with the keyword in the Special Parameters- Receive String field.
• C. An HTTP monitor with the keyword in the Special Parameters- Response Codes field.
• D. A TCP monitor with the keyword in the Special Parameters- Response Codes field.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as an HTTP monitor is designed to check for specific response codes, which can include keywords to verify the service is functioning correctly. Options A and B refer to HTTP-ECV and TCP-ECV monitors that are not suitable for checking responses based on keywords. Option D, a TCP monitor, does not analyze content in the response, making it unable to check for specific keywords.
