Well, sure it's supposed to do *something*, but it's not always obvious *what*. Also, I guess I was surprised that they'd go to the trouble of a zenpack + howto for HTTP Monitoring if you can just do it from the IP service for port 80... Or that they wouldn't even mention that you can do some lite-weight monitoring right from CORE.

*sigh*

Maybe I oughtn't be surprised at all anymore.

What do you mean by "are supposed to work"? I mean surely if it's there, it's 
"supposed" to  work?

The documentation is the admin guide:
http://www.zenoss.com/community/docs/zenoss-guide/2.2.0/ch11s02.html

But you're right that these options are not actually documented. OTOH, a great 
deal of Zenoss is undocumented, so that means nothing. The page also clearly 
out of date, since it refers to text fields that do not exist in the interface 
(it wasn't too hard to figure out how to add an IP Service, but the procedure 
doesn't fit the description -- I presume it's been changed).

ISTM that monitoring availability of an HTTP server has got to be one of the biggest use 
cases for something like Zenoss, so this ought to work, ought to be documented, and 
really, there ought to be "one obvious way to do it".
