Citrix ADC 13 Administrator — Question 51

Scenario: A Citrix Administrator is configuring load 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. A HTTP-ECV monitor with the keyword in the Special Parameters – Receive String field.
• B. An UDP-ECV monitor with the keyword in the Special Parameters – Receive String field.
• C. A TCP monitor with the keyword in the Special Parameters – Response Codes field.
• D. A HTTP monitor with the keyword in the Special Parameters – Response Codes field.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because an HTTP monitor is specifically designed to check for certain responses from a web server, including keywords in the response. Options A and B are incorrect as they involve ECV monitors that do not suit the requirement for keyword checks, while option C is not suitable since TCP monitors do not analyze response content but rather focus on connection status.
