Match alert. If you have specified a Perl Expression to collect

Test button. The Monitor Test window provides information
about the success or failure of the test and indicates what may
be causing any problem. Note that the Test button for the
TCP/IP Socket Monitor will simply verify that the file exists.

save these basic TCP/IP Socket monitor settings. You can now
add this monitor to a monitor group. Refer to Adding Monitors

Configuring URL Monitors
A URL monitor directs OneSight to determine if a URL that is
critical to your web site is functioning as it should. A URL monitor
connects to a specified URL at specified time intervals to confirm
that the URL is quickly available. You can set up as many URL
monitors as you need in order to determine if individual web pages
used by your monitor group are available and functioning correctly.
When you click URL in the Monitor Types box, settings to
configure a URL monitor appear on these dialog box tabs:
General Tab – Contains the options that you can use to create a URL
monitor for your monitor group.
Advanced Tab – Allows you to define settings for cookies and user
agent.
Proxy Tab – Allows you to define settings for proxy server and
authentication.
Alerts Tab – Shows what alerts are currently in effect for the URL
monitor, whether the alerts contribute to an error condition, and
