Enabling Web Sites monitoring

NAVIGATION  VSA 10 Agent > System > Web > Web Sites > Add

Sometimes, port and service monitoring is not enough to monitor a website. Maybe the content was moved and the web server is returning a 404 error code, or the service is down due to an invalid configuration and returns a 503 error code. With website monitoring, you can monitor your websites by testing the return codes.

After clicking Add, fill in the following fields to monitor a website:

  • Name (a friendly name for the website that will be displayed on the device)
  • URL (target URL that will be tested, which must contain the protocol)
  • Method (HEAD or GET)

Enabling notifications for Web Sites monitoring

NAVIGATION  VSA 10 Agent > Notifications > Web


If you opted to monitor a website or an SSL Certificate, you can enable notifications for the following scenarios:

  • A monitored SSL Certificate has expired, or the expiration date is fewer than a configured number of days.
  • A website becomes unavailable after a configured number of minutes.
