Issue with Generic HTTP Monitor - Access Denied

I have a simple web server that I am trying to ensure is reachable using the "Genric HTTP Monitor"

I changed the URL to refect the site I am trying to monitor, for example: http://10.10.10.10/mysite using port number 443

When I test this, I get a message:

"Testing on node xxx: failed with 'NotAvailable' status
Access denied, authorization failed

I am a bit stumped as to why it would not be able to reach the site.

As a first level of troubleshooting, I browsed to the site from the server that hosts the application performance monitor, and it arrived there just fine.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Hello,
You write you use HTTP protocol on port 443. Port 443 is for HTTPS, are you sure that you have plain HTTP on that port? Try to use HTTPS monitor instead of plain HTTP.

Yes, I had been using HTTP Generic and changed port to 443, but when I added the HTTPS monitor, it worked perfectly. Thank you!
