Monitor the text of a webpage, if text change it's marked as down

Hello everyone, complete n00b to SolarWinds. I am trying to see if it's possible to monitor a webpage for a particular text, if this text change then the monitor is marked as down. For example the Azure status portal.

As of right now there are no issues and the words There are currently no active events show up on the site. When those words change\no longer there then I want to get an alert. This way I know something is going on in Azure.

This is just one example of a site, I am interested in monitoring multiple cloud providers status pages and get alerted when the status changes.

Thanks!

Hi, the easiest way is to use a normal http/https-component (either one of them). In there add the text you want to search for and set to "fail if found=no".

I can't find this monitor.
Is it a specified product?

This feature is found in Server & Application Monitor or also included in [mention:a84e186fd01942edab9c43c038b14c6c:23b05a61c3e5445190d9bfa00453bce4] .

If you needed something more elaborate than text search, we also have a tool that dives into the 'synthetic transaction' monitoring of a website found in [mention:0cdc2ca8bb4742cc86917f6342f19b1a:23b05a61c3e5445190d9bfa00453bce4] .
