HTTP URL Monitors

 

Applications Manager acts as a continuous URL monitoring service that keeps a constant watch over the specified URL or web site pages. URL monitors verify the availability of specified, addressable, standard HTTP and HTTPS URLs. They scan the HTTP and HTTPS pages looking for a predefined keyword to check whether the web site is available.

 

There are two ways of URL monitoring provided by Applications Manager.

In URL Sequence, click on the individual URL listed, to view its monitored parameters.

 

Real Browser Monitor: RBM provides live End-User experience measurement. RBM opens up a Web Browser and monitors a web application just like how a real user sees it. It supports playback from different geographical locations.

Response Time Split Up

DNS Time The time that it takes to resolve the website’s hostname to a certain IP address. If the DNS lookup time is high, it means that you or your hosting provider has a problem with their DNS servers.
Connection Time Once the URL has been resolved to an IP address, the connection time shows how long it takes to establish a connection to your server. The connection time helps in discovering network latency, routing issues, and server bandwidth problems.
First Byte Time The first byte shows how long it takes from the moment the connection was created until the first byte is about to be transferred. The time to perform any negotiations with the server and the time needed for the server to calculate the result are also included.
Last Byte Time Once the first byte of HTML has been received, the Web server continues to send the HTML that represents the layout of the Web page, including CSS and Java Script. Last byte time includes time till the last byte for all documents with the HTML to load. Also commonly referred to as the "Download Time" or "HTML Content Time".
