Solarwinds ability to monitor HTTP pages

I'm still learning SW as I go along.  I recently received the following request from one of my developers and am not sure the best way to implement the monitoring necessary to accomplish this.      

Does Solarwinds have the capability to check for specific text (e.g. “User Name”) or button (e.g. “Login”) on a monitored web page?   Or does it have the capability to test for a specific redirect?

In our Oracle Apps R12 systems, the AppsLocalLogin.jsp file (login page) returns an HTTP-200 (normal completion) in some situations where an empty page is presented to the user, rather than a full login page. (The correct version actually does a self-redirect to RF.jsp)

We were wondering what capability Solarwinds has that would enable us to reliably monitor webpages.

Yes SAM can validate content on a page as you can see in the image below. It's important to note however that javascript is rendered locally by the client and as such SAM does not support JavaScript. Our Web Performance Monitor does provide full support for JavaScript through.
