That is what I am using for most of the checks I have configured but was running into some problems finding a phrase that was available to the SA check when checking a site heavy on framesets. I think I am on the right path now that I have a utility that will give me a comprehensive look at the responses.

What is happening is when checking for specific wording in a login page that is based on frames the check is returning as down even though the page is accessible. I am attempting to figure out what to look for in order to successfully determine that the login page is available … or not. Thanks.

With a tool like IEInspector you can see what is exactly send/received by IE (internet explorer) and this even for HTTPS urls. Dirk Bulinckx.

Most of my checks to this point have concentrated on server and service availability but now we are ready enhance our website monitoring by checking more than just whether or not the http or https port is responding. In attempting to configure URL reports that actually check the site to confirm the correct page is displaying the success is hit and miss. (unfortunately a lot of miss) Is there a utility similar to WebBug (only checks http) that will retrieve https response? Has anyone developed a “best practice” for configuring successful URL checks?
