TMSH strips the escape characters for literal strings '\?' to be '?' or '\[' to be '[' in ltm monitor send/recv strings.
This might cause the BIG-IP system to load incorrect monitor send/recv strings.
This condition manifests whenever the send/recv string in LTM monitor contains '\?' (backslash-question mark) or '\[' (backslash-open square bracket).
Use [] (open square bracket-close square bracket) in these cases when using a recv string, for example: [?] [[] Another option is not using '\' (backslash) in front of '[' (open square bracket) to indicate a literal string. Note: This workaround is not valid for send strings.
