Hello!
I have to monitor a portal where the login page is a form.
After a successful log-in, there several 302 responses (redirect) to a final page.
I need to be able to monitor the complete flow.
How I can do this with Orion?
Thank you

Depending upon the complexity of the web application you may be able to utilize SAM's HTTP Form Login Monitor. If that doesn't work due to the web applications reliance upon cookies, javascript, etc. I would recommend using Web Performance Monitor instead.
Dear Mrs alTeReGo,
How do i use the Web performance monitor or even the HTTP form monitor to monitor the 302 flow?Is there any steps I can follow? Since i read this page, i have been trying in vain to do that. Please help.
SAM's HTTP Form Login Monitor supports following redirects, and the WPM Recorder will create a transaction based upon browser activity that can be replayed on virtually any machine. I would suggest downloading and trying Web Performance Monitor and giving it a try. You will be amazed how easy this is.
Thing is, I do have the Web Performance monitor. I guess the issue is how to get it to do that.So i guess my question is that is there a way to get the WPM to produce an error when the site does not get redirected to the right page?Thank you.
Indeed there is. This is where you would use page content validation in WPM to ensure that the page contains certain elements. If the page is redirected elsewhere those page elements likely do not exists, which would result in an error. WPM can validate simple text strings on a page, as well as images to ensure the page returned is the appropriate one.
Thanks a lot. I followed your suggestions and took another look at the WPM and now I am able to better use it for the site monitoring. Thanks again!
