Monitoring and alerting on website problems

ChrisC

Hi,

My organisation has several websites operational on internal systems that are managed by Orion.

My question is around managing these websites - is it possible to monitor and alert on these websites? i.e. to monitor the state of the websites and if one or more go down then to alert the IT team?

I was wondering whether Application monitor could do something here for us but from what I can see it cant - is this right?

I understand Nagios does it (screenscraping is it?) Is there an offering from Solarwinds\orion?

Cheers

I would also like to know if this is possible.

Thanks.

APM should do that for you. It will monitor the response time to a webserver by sending an HTML 200 request and response.

How would I go about setting that up? Do you know? I have the Application Monitor monitoring various services on various servers, but am not sure how I can set it up to monitor the website. The site is running via IIS.

Thanks.

Check Pages 21 and 22 on this doc.

I was looking at those instructions earlier, and my module is called Application Monitor, not Application Performance Monitor. I cannot see the options that are listed in the Admin Guide. Do I have an old version that does not support this? I am running Application Monitor 8.0.21 with Orion NPM 8.5.

Yep, you have the old version, now they call it APM.
