    1. Agreed A

      HTTP and HTTPS monitors check if the web server is up and running, and it returns HTTP message 200 OK.

      HTTP-ECV and HTTPS-ECV monitors check if web server is up and running by not only checking HTTP return code but also if the requested content is present on the web server.

  1. A
    For HTTP, TCP and UDP services, there are predefined monitors capable of Extended Content Verification (ECV). Such monitors are used when it is not enough to see that a TCP connection was successful; rather a particular type of request is generated and specific message in response is looked for to validate that service is functioning as expected. For these monitors, a request string would be configured along with an expected reply string to be received. If the reply string received by the Citrix NetScaler monitor matches, then the service is up.

    1. I think is D. IS asking just for keyword to response (like 501) not for a tuned query string and response witch is done with -ecv monitors..
