My second question regarding ipMonitor 9.
We're looking to implement content verification, where, for example, ipMonitor will check a website to see not only if it's up/down, but if the content is correct.
For example, we have custom 404 errors that follow our website template if a page cannot be displayed; to a user, the site would be down, but all pertinent services are still running.
Can this be done? If so, how?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Nick,
In order to acheive this goal, you may want to try using the HTML/ASP Monitor. The Monitor will connect to the Web server, request the web page, ensure that it receives a 200 response back from the server and also parse the body of the page to find a set text string.
The following HTTP Monitors are available with ipMonitor:
HTTP: Ensures the server returns a 200 reponse back when requesting the web page
HTML/ASP: Ensures the server returns a 200 reponse back when requesting the web page and validate that a set text string is present on the page provided.
HTTPS: Same as HTML/ASP Monitor but through HTTPS instead of HTTP
HTTP-User Experience: tests a web server's ability to accept incoming sessions and transmit a requested resource, such as a web page, or the results of a CGI script. In other words, it does a checksum on the requested page and validate the returned value to ensure it has not changed.
Link-User Experience: tests any links (HREFs) it locates within a specified web page to ensure the links can be successfully accessed by visitors
