You must set properties for an HTTP resource you create.

To set the HTTP resource monitor's properties:

  1. Enter the name of the HTTP monitor in the Name field. A maximum of 32 alphanumeric characters and underscores is allowed.
  2. Enter the HTTP monitor description in the Description field.
  3. Enter the name of the URL to monitor in the URL field. HTTP is the only supported protocol. If the URL does not begin with http://, OpenEdge Management prepends it.
  4. Enter the name and port number of the proxy server in the Proxy server field that identifies this URL (optional). The correct format to enter this information is <proxy>:<port>.
  5. Enter a set of name-value pairs to be appended to the URL in the Form data field.
  6. Enter HTTP headers, one per line, in the HTTP headers field. The acceptable header format is <header name:header value>. Field names are case insensitive.

    The following example shows HTTP headers using this format:

    Accept:img/*;q=0.0,img/gif;q=0.0,text/*;q=0.0
  7. Decide whether you want OpenEdge Management to allow the server to set cookies. The Accept cookies option is selected by default. Clear the option if you do not want the server to set cookies. Cookies are not retained as persistent to the disk.
  8. Decide whether you want to enable the HTTP monitor. The Polling Enabled option is selected by default. Clear the option if you want to turn polling off for the monitor.

    You can now set the HTTP monitor's authentication properties.
