Colleagues, Im tyring to monitor a webpage instance. As per the pic below I have removed the dns name. Am I missing a command? [cid:user-9868f4ac1ec2@xymon.invalid0BA480] [cid:user-da02253a8075@xymon.invalid0BA480] [TCTA-Wellness-Banner]<https://ibb.co/tmzJ2NP>;

I've always found that using a slash at the end of a URL that contains subdirectories works best.? I also use the 'cont' and 'httpstatus' tests depending on what the site returns. Are you getting an error of some kind on your test?? The URL you have is not typically a name that https would respond successfully, unless your server has some self signed stuff going on.? Also, adding port 9191 means that https would have to resolve on that specific port in your printspooler server webserver settings.? It all gets very complicated. Kris Springer

What results do you get from your URL when using a standard web browser from a different machine?? Does the page resolve correctly? Could this be a firewall port issue?? What results does your Xymon Server show on it's web dashboard?? Is it red? Green? Not working at all?? What are your expected results, vs the results you're actually getting? Kris Springer

The page opens up so that I can log in.
Could this be a firewall port issue? You mean from the xymon server ?
What results does your Xymon Server show on it's web dashboard? Is it red? Green? Not working at all? Its green as shown below:

What are
your expected results, vs the results you're actually getting? I would have like to see an Https status icon which im not seeing here. Similar to this as shown below

I would put in the IP address that it is now. Did you make a zone for "." in your DNS server? What happens if the Xymon server does a look up for printspooler.? On Tue, Nov 22, 2022 at 7:14 AM Nikesh Maharaj via Xymon <xymon at xymon.com> wrote:

Does your Xymon Server actually know what the 'printspooler' name resolves to?? I'd back up a bit and run a ping test from your Xymon Server to your Printspooler Server and make sure something is happening successfully.? Then run nmap from Xymon to Printspooler to make sure it's answering on your desired port.? There's been a few instances on my stuff that I've had to statically enter an IP and hostname into my /etc/hosts file on my Xymon Server so it will correctly resolve something local that it couldn't find on it's own. I also use the 'noconn' flag on a lot of my stuff so it doesn't try to resolve my custom host names to any IP unless I specifically want it to.? Here's a sample of some of my working host lines.? Maybe it will help you. 0.0.0.0???????? test.response.myurl.gov-healthcheck????????? # noconn https://test.response.myurl.gov/test/rest/info/healthCheck?f=pjson cont;https://test.response.myurl.gov/test/rest/info/healthCheck?f=pjson;true 192.168.50.22 ? QB-Sharepoint????????????????? # noconn httpstatus;http://matrix:9090;401; Kris Springer
