How to Configure Health probes for SphereShield for Skype (SkypeShieldHealth)?
Setting up a health check
When working with a load balancer between the DMZ Bastion and the internet it is
possible to set simple HTTPS/HTTP health checks.
However, such a health check will not show as down in case there is a
communication error with the DB or with the Lync/Skype for Business servers.
In order to perform a health check, it’s required to target an address that is being
filtered out through the LAC Filter (For example lyncdiscover). The request should
look something like this: GET /skypeshieldhealth HTTP/1.1\r\nHost:
<SkypeWebServicesURL>
Example:
GET /skypeshieldhealth HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: lyncdiscover.agat.mobi
Note that it is required to work with http/1.1
Finding the External Web Services Address
Use the Skype for Business Topology Builder to locate the external web address or
FQDN of each pool.
