Hello Paesslerists...

I have a question... I'm creating a template to check a web server... Which you can do with:

    <check id="https443.prtg" meta="http" requires="ping">
        <metadata>
          <protocol>https</protocol>
          <port>443</port>
        </metadata>
    </check>

Is there a way to make sure it is a specific server? Like check a specific url:

    <check id="https443.prtg" meta="http" requires="ping">
        <metadata>
          <protocol>https</protocol>
          <port>443</port>
          <httpurl>https:///checkrunning</httpurl>
        </metadata>
    </check>

Or, check for something in the return like:

    <check id="http443.prtg" meta="http" requires="ping">
        <metadata>
          <protocol>https</protocol>
          <port>443</port>
          <checksubstring>paessler.com.com</checksubstring>
        </metadata>
    </check>

So that you can then create a HTTP Advanced sensor like:

    <create id="httpsensor.prtg.http" kind="http" requires="http443.prtg"  displayname="PRTG Server Check">
        <createdata>
          <httpurl>https:///checkrunning</httpurl>
          <httpmustneeded>1</httpmustneeded>
          <httpmustnotneeded>0</httpmustnotneeded>
          <includemust>Webserver is Running</includemust>
          <hybridmode>delphi</hybridmode>
          <checkcertificate>true</checkcertificate>
        </createdata>
      </create>

Thanks JR

Hello JR,

I'm afraid this might only be possible by creating your own meta-scans. For some sensors include and exclude filters can also be used - however the HTTP Advanced sensor is not one of them.
