The problem with that logic is that I have to poll a website not for performance, but for a status of an application. The only way to confirm that one of our apps is running is to load a site and parse the status text for how it is operating.

In addition to that I simply typed "Down" into the dropdown for Availability and tested successfully. Weird that it works, but it does.

I ended up opening a ticket with support and they confirmed that "Availability" is the property that is equal to "status" on others. It is limited to Critical/Warning though which worries me a bit since I do like having the ability to filter on "Down" events.

Found my own answer. Apparently you need to configure WMI polling permissions within IIS as well. Didn't see this in any of the KB articles or on the forums...
