HTTP Monitoring

Web Page Monitors monitor HTTP URLs. You can configure the ELM Enterprise Manager Server or a Service Agent to periodically establish an HTTP connection to the server and port specified to fetch a URL. If the response is negative, slower than expected, or if the content has been changed, notification options can be triggered. If you are using ports other than the default (80 for HTTP), you can specify that port as part of the URL. For example, to monitor a web page on www.tntsoftware.com that is listening on port 8080, you would use the following URL: ../..:8080.

You can also monitor your Web server's quality of service performance by monitoring how quickly a response is returned. A warning Alert is generated whenever the response from the Web server exceeds the threshold you specify here.

ELM can also generate an event if the contents (e.g, the results of the HTTP query) change from the expected results. This option works best when monitoring static web pages, but is a way to learn when any Web page content changes.
