Table 31. Basic Information view
Description

Shows the URL of the monitored Web site. It also indicates whether the agent should retrieve the page header only, and the expected content.

Data displayed
•
Expected Content: If content validation is enabled for the agent instance that monitors this URL, and the expected content type is HTML-based, this is indicated in this column. Also, a text string could be used such as “laptop” and type laptop into this column. In case the monitoring agent detects binary content or the text string at this address, the validation fails and the agent logs an error message. If this column is empty, that means the agent is not required to perform content validation.
Content validation can be enabled using the URL List secondary agent properties. For more information, see Settings.
•
Unexpected Content: If unexpected content validation is enabled for the agent instance that monitors this URL, and the unexpected content type is HTML-based, this is indicated in this column. Also, a text string could be used such as “laptop” and type laptop into this column. In case the monitoring agent detects binary content or the text string at this address, the validation fails and the agent logs an error message. If this column is empty, that means the agent is not required to perform unexpected content validation.
Unexpected Content validation can be enabled using the URL List secondary agent properties. For more information, see Settings.
