Which configuration would verify a web service health by matching a keyword in the response, using an HTTP-ECV monitor?

• A. Keyword in the Basic Parameters - Receive String field
• B. Keyword in the Basic Parameters - Send String field
• C. Keyword in the Special Parameters - Receive String field
• D. Keyword in the Special Parameters - Send String field

Answer: (A)

Health verification using an HTTP-ECV monitor hinges on confirming that the response from the web service contains a specific keyword. The keyword you’re checking for must be placed where the monitor inspects the incoming data, which is the Receive String field under the Basic Parameters. This tells the monitor to search the HTTP response body for that exact keyword and consider the service healthy if it appears. Putting the keyword in the Send String field would affect what is sent to the service, not what comes back, so it doesn’t verify the actual response content. The Special Parameters area is for other advanced options, not the standard keyword-in-response verification.
