monitor URL/page availability

Tamir_hagai — Sat, 29 Aug 2020 08:17:21 GMT

Hello

I have an IIS server with one site and several applications. Appdynamics .Net agent 20.4.1

each application has a appName.svc web page that I can call to check if the service is up.

I tried AppDynamics Extension for URL Monitoring and followed the installation instructions.

I can see in 'Metric browser' the URL monitor section, under that I see 'Metric Uploaded'.

where do I see indication that a URl is down/up?

can I monitor multiple URLs, as i did in yml file?

my config.yml file section looks like this:

sites:
     #No authentication, with a pattern to match
   - name:     ReportService.svc
     url:      https://serverName/Reports/ReportService.svc
     followRedirects: false
     groupName: MySites
     
   - name:     DigitalService.svc
     url:      http://serverName/Digital/DigitalService.svc
     followRedirects: false
     groupName: MySites
     
   - name:     EmailService.svc
     url:      http://serverName/Email/EmailService.svc
     followRedirects: false
     groupName: MySites

log:

Can you post your whole config file, with sensitive data remove to better assist:)

Such as:

Controller name/URL
