Website monitoring involves:
URL Monitoring / Website Monitoring
Monitor the availability and performance of web pages of
your web application. Applications manager checks if your
website pages are accessible. When they are not accessible,
notifications are sent and corrective actions can be triggered.
Website performance monitoring feature checks for various
attributes such as response time, etc. For example, you can
add a URL, say http://mycompany/estore.jsp, for monitoring.
You can set a threshold for a web page such that - if the
page load time of that page is more than 5 seconds, you should
be notified through an e-mail or SMS. This helps you in taking
quick action before it affects end users.
When the URL Monitoring is performed, the Web page and its
content is retrieved. A successful page retrieval assures
you that your Web server is functioning properly. In addition
to this, the URL Monitoring helps you verify that CGI scripts
and back-end databases are functioning properly.
URL Sequence Monitoring
The purpose of URL Sequence is to monitor multiple web pages
of an online application. It checks pages with dynamically
generated information, enhancing interactive transactions
such as logging into a login page, creating an account using
a web form, instructing the application to perform some action,
etc.
URL Sequencing starts with a specific URL such as the Login
page and then followed by additional links/URL in it. The
URL Sequence monitoring thus performs end-to-end verification
of particular transactions.
This feature comes handy especially for e-commerce sites
and sites that provides multiple forms to be filled-in by
users. You can perform URL sequence monitoring to see what
is returned at every step of a URL sequence. This helps in
quicker troubleshooting by identifying which page in the sequence,
that is typically followed by users, gives trouble.
URL Content Monitoring
/ Website Content Monitoring
URL Content Monitoring can be used to monitor Web pages that
are generated dynamically and display statistics about custom
applications. URL Content Monitoring ensures that your pages
are not modified without your knowledge. This feature is useful
for ensuring validity of data on database-driven web sites.
If a keyword is not present on that web page, you can notify
it through e-mail or SMS and take corrective actions instantly.
You can ensure that a specified text appears on your web
page all the time. For example, you can check for the availability
of a text, say $995, which maybe retrieved from a database.
This helps you in ensuring that your database is running fine
too.
Additional Website Monitoring Capabilities
- Form Submission: Some websites, especially e-commerce
and online trading sites, have various forms. URL monitoring
feature can simulate form submissions and ensure they are
working fine.
- Security: Some website requires authentication
to access its web pages. URL Monitoring provides options
to specify the user authentication information while monitoring
series of pages. For example, an online banking system requires
login, and after login, there are a series of web pages
involved. You can monitor the functioning of these pages
right from logging in to accessing other online transactions
through the URL Monitoring feature.

applications, refer to FAQ.
