If "Follow Redirections" is enabled, the transaction follows all redirections until a valid file is transmitted or until an error occurs. The ASP Monitor can also transmit any account and password information required by the Web server. The account and password information will be passed on every redirection.

The URL is the relative path of the file to retrieve or cgi script to execute.
omit: "http://www.company.com/"

Note: The HTTP/ASP Monitor causes the side effect of conducting traffic on the specified Web site. To avoid this, select the "HEAD request instead of Get" option. The number of bytes transmitted (as recognized by traffic analysis software) will remain at zero. Regardless of this setting, the "hit count" for the default page will increase unless traffic from the ipMonitor host machine is somehow excluded from the calculations. Please refer to your log analysis software documentation for specific details.

This Monitor:

• Considers the specified resource unavailable after a specified number of seconds.
• Persistently tests the resource at specified intervals.
• Disallows testing during a maintenance period.
• Waits for a specified number of failures to occur before starting alerts.
• Switches testing intervals, from "responding correctly" to "not responding correctly". Configurable intervals allow you to test more or less aggressively in the event of failure.
• Stops alerting after a specified number of alerts.
• Has a placeholder for a WinNT Service Name or any other information required by a recovery script.
