HTTPS monitor

The HTTPS monitor checks the availability and response time of web servers. It can monitor individual web pages, including those that use HTML forms which normally require the user to enter data into fields.

Note: The HTTPS monitor works in the same way as the HTTP monitor, but it communicates with the HTTP server using version 2 or version 3 of the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol, which encrypts all communications between the server and the monitor.

Table 1 provides a summary of HTTPS Monitor files.
