Don't lose your customers to competition
Face it. In today's Internet economy, you cannot leave your
website availability to chance, when your company is
spending its marketing dollars on attracting prospective
customers to your website. 24 X 7 monitoring of your
website for availability and performance is critical
to proactively identify website problems, before they
escalate into substantial downtime and lost revenue.
URL Monitoring Challenges

OpManager's URL Monitoring Features
|
OpManager checks URLs to ensure that they are reachable and
serving pages which is a more reliable way of monitoring websites,
instead of depending on ICMP pings or TCP port checks on port
80. You can monitor all your public websites, as well as your
web-based applications running in your Intranet for availability
and health. Moreover, OpManager provides you the availability
and performance trends of your website also.

URL Monitoring - Content Match
- Restore compromised websites immediately
Your website is always prone to attack from hackers and when
it is compromised, simply relying on availability checks won't
help you. OpManager allows you to monitor a URL and search
for a specific text on the page. When the text is missing
you can be immediately alerted and you will get to know in
real time that our website has been compromised.

URL Monitoring - Monitoring a Web Server Farm
When you are running a web server farm, you know that a global
URL being available to end customers is not a real indicator
of your website health and availability. If a few servers
in your web farm are down, customers may start to experience
slower website response due to increased load on the remaining
servers. OpManager gives you the ability to monitor the same
website on several machines so that you can track and fix
failures on individual servers even though the website itself
is available to end-customers.

URL Monitoring -
Monitoring web applications with a Login
Some of your Web applications may require a login ID, Password
or some other type of form submission to access a web page.
OpManager allows you to specify the request parameters of
the form (like login and password) and then check if the page
login was successful. This helps you to monitor web applications
that require authentication.
URL Monitoring - Know
if parts of your application are down
A database failure on your public website can be quite an
embarassing failure when users fill up a lot of details and
click on submit - only to receive a database error or exception.
With OpManager URL monitoring you have a simple solution.
Just create a dynamic page which makes a database query and
prints a success message. By having OpManager monitor this
page and do a content match for the success string, you can
rest assured that your database is up and running along with
your webpage.
