Question by Alfredo L. · Sep 02, 2014 at 09:33 AM ·

URL Monitor - How it works?

Hi Guys,

could help me?

 

I need check availability of some URLs, I decided to use the Monitor URL.

What is the level that this test comes? Only the http port (80) is checked?

I auditioned on a ULR that does not exist and the result was 1.

 

see:

URL ok: /dep/eletrodomesticos?Filtro=C13&nid=170129

Result: 

 

 

URL wrong: /dep/eletrodomsdfsdfsaesticos?Filtro=C13&nid=170129

Result:

Hi Alfredo,

see this documentation about URL Monitor

In your "wrong" URL the host is still reachable, giving an answer like a HTTP 404 Page not found since your URL is incorrect. Thus it is giving a 1 back. I think what you rather want to do is to check the "ContentVerified" measure which is also provided by the URL Monitor. Furthermore you can check the HTTPStatusCode so that it is not equals 404. This way you can check if a URL is successfully retrieved and not only if the host was available.

Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Dennis

Hi Dennis,


I will create a dash based on HTTP statusCode.
