Proper syntax for urls.conf with multiple URLs

[sliderCO]

Can someone clarify the syntax for multiple urls in the urls.conf file please for the WebMon?
The app is only picking up the last url in my file. The examples show brackets around the url name/title but I saw that there were no brackets in the earlier version.

My Site 1

url = http://www.site1.com

timeout = 30

userAgent = Mozilla/4.0

My Site 2

url = http://www.site2.com

timeout = 30

userAgent = Mozilla/4.0

My Site 3

url = http://www.site3.com

timeout = 30

userAgent = Mozilla/4.0

My site 4

url = http://www.site4.com

timeout = 30

userAgent = Mozilla/4.0

Thanks!

Hi, it might be that you have found the answer but I had the same problem. I think, I solved it by making a script called "webmon_handler.py" executable which is not executable by default.

Hi,
Can you pl help on how to configure webmon.
I did modify urls.conf but I cant see any data coming in. should the useragent be changed?
I am using IE 9

For example:

[Site 1 CoolSite]
url = http://www.website1.com
timeout = 30
userAgent = Mozilla/4.0
[Site 2 CoolerSite]
url = http://www.website2.com
timeout = 30
userAgent = Mozilla/4.0

Out of curiosity have you, or anyone else, figured out a way of specifying multiple pages under a given subdirectory as a single definition in urls.conf?

Such that
url = http://www.website.com/a/1
...
url = http://www.website.com/a/2

could be defined as
url = http://www.website.com/a/

because that'd be handy (whitelisting filetypes would too but we may have to wait for that one).

I got it! The brackets are required for each URL or "ping_name" as it is referred to in the app.
