Does APM have a monitor to check that an HTTP Source page contains expected code?

Here's an example. I want to link to say, https://gmail.google.com If the code below shows up...then Success if any lines are missing, fail and status change. Thoughts?

CODE SNIP EXAMPLE from HTML SOURCE:

html lang="en" dir="ltr">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<meta name="description" content="7+ GB of storage, less spam, and mobile access. Gmail is email that's intuitive, efficient, and useful. And maybe even fun.">
<link rel="icon" type="image/ico" href="">thwack.solarwinds.com/.../favicon.ico">
<style type=text/css>

This can already be done today using a simple HTTPS User Experience Monitor. You'll need to chain the HTML together into a string similar to the following

Is then turned into....

Then enter this string into the HTTPS User Experience Monitor

So far it's working for me, through I didn't test all the code you posted. Note: You may need to separate the body and header into two component monitors.

It's always going to work no matter what content you are looking for because you have the "head Request" field checked. This doesn't look for code when you have that checked, it just requests a HEAD from the web server.

I tried it with garbage characters in the Search String field and it still came back with Green:Available status.

I need to add something additional, which is somewhat odd behavior for these monitors. For several tries, I could not get this type of monitor to work for an HTTPS page. I know that the credentials were correct, etc.

But, finally after several tries, I found that it suddenly started working, with no apparent explanation.

Does anyone know if there is some kind of time delay or cache that has to be filled before the https content monitoring starts working? This sure doesn't behave the way Ipmonitor 9/10 did for us.

Sincerely,

Mike
