URL_Website monitoring

[Riley69]

Hi, I have read through the forums and do not see any conclusive answer to how to monitor a url/website. I want to be alerted if the website is down and get notification once the website is up again. Can somebode please explain to me step by step please.

Hi,

It's not in the forums but in the online documentation that you should find an answer to your question :

Not helpfull at all

Hi Raoul,

Thank you for the reply. I have read that online documentation as well. I did not prove helpfull at all. Can someone please give me a step by step tutorial, because I have tested all the examples given in the documentation and still does not work. Can you perhaps give me an example you used so I can test it on my side.

Configuration -> Web
Select the right Group / Host
Then "Create a Scenario"

Select the Application to link the scenario to,
Setup the right parameters for your configuration,
Then "Add" a Step :
Give it a name,
Type the URL of the site to be tested,
Then the Status code you wait for (if you just want to test that a site is up, type "200",
Validate all.

Then the second step is to setup a trigger :
Configuration -> Hosts
Select the host you setup the scenario on,
"Create Trigger" :
{host_name:web.test.rspcode[scenario_name,scenario_step_name].count(120,200,"ne")}>1
With this configuration, you'll have an alarm if the website is unreachable during 2 minutes.
