Hi,

 
I have configured Xymon Server. Can anyone tell me , how to Monitor URL
through Xymon? Xymon must send alert, if I'm able to open that URL. 

 
Thanks,

Benedicta

Depends on the type of test you need.  Check out http://xymon.org/help/manpages/man5/hosts.cfg.5.html  and scroll down to "HTTP TESTS".   This is also available from your Xymon server under the "Help" tab.  You'll also need to configure the alerts if you haven't already.

If you want a red alarm if you are able to retrieve the result, you 
probably want to use the HTTPSTATUS test of Xymon. From the man-page:

httpstatus[=COLUMN];URL;okstatusexpr;notokstatusexpr
    This is used to explicitly test for certain HTTP statuscodes returned when the URL is requested. The okstatusexpr and nokokstatusexpr expressions are Perl-compatible regular expressions, e.g. "2..|302" will match all OK codes and the redirect (302) status code. If the URL cannot be retrieved, the status is "999"

something like:
httpstatus=web;http://foo.bar.com/robots.txt;4..|[1-9]..

will try to retrieve http://foo.bar.com/robots.txt and put the results 
under a column titled "web". It will be green if the HTTP return code is 
anything in the 400s. It will be red in all other cases.
