Add an HTTP counter

HTTP counters allow you to track the HTTP response code, response time, content length, server time, and network time for specific URLs. Perform the steps in the following sections to add an HTTP counter.

Add an HTTP counter with no security

Complete these steps to add an HTTP counter for URLs that don't require a token or authentication:

1. Start Monitor Administrator.

   The Connections view appears.

2. Click Open on the Monitor Server application connection to which you want to add the counter.

   The collection pane appears.

3. In the tree view, expand the collection and monitor service to which you want to add the counter.
4. Click Http in the tree view to choose it.
5. Right-click Http and click Add.
6. Expand Http in the tree view and click New Http.

   The Config tab appears.

7. Type a name for the counter in the Name text box.
8. Click the Request Type drop-down arrow and choose No security.
9. Type the URL you want to monitor in the URL text box.
10. Optionally type a text string you want to check for in the Find String text box.
11. Optionally type a text string you want to check for that should not be present in the Find String Not text box.
12. Choose a sample interval from the Sample Interval drop-down menu.

    Hinweis:

    It is recommended that you not use sample intervals greater than 5 minutes for critical alerts as this can skew availability statistics. For more information, see View collection availability.

13. Optionally type a description in the Description text box.
14. Click Test to test the counter.

    The test results are displayed below the Test button.

15. Click Save to save the counter.

Now you can configure alerts for the counter. You can also view and analyze counter status and metrics in the ArcGIS Monitor Server application by clicking Categories > Web.
