Hi,
We're using the Traffic Manager CTP on our current project and have a couple of issues. Not sure how to raise these formally (if we even can?) so thought I'd raise them here for now!
The first and main issue is to do with the Monitoring Endpoint configuration. We only expose our public service endpoints over SSL on port 443, however this is causing issues with the monitoring capabilities in Traffic Manager. I've configured the the protocol (HTTPS) and port (443) and relative path, and I can browse to this path fine, however Traffic Manager always reports the service as 'Offline'. It works fine with services exposed over HTTP.
One thought on a cause may be that the call is failing due to an invalid SSL certificate? Our services have SSL certs for their relevant external domain, however when accessed at myservice.cloudapp.net the SSL cert is obviously invalid.
So - is this a known issue? Is so, does anyone know if a fix is planned? And are there any work-arounds (other than exposing the services to port 80 just to get the monitoring to work!)?
The second point is a minor one to do with terminology, if you have a policy with a single hosted service, and that service shows as 'Offline', the policy status only shows as 'Degraded', however perhaps that should also show 'Offline' if all services are in that state?
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
Ben
