I am currently monitoring several server's web pages with another product and I have recently installed GFI Network Monitor Server to do the same thing, but I have come across a problem. I have set up monitoring for http with content matching to look for a specific file on the page, i.e. arrow.gif. Now on some web sites the GFI monitor lists the website found and the content (arrow.gif) matched, but on a couple of other websites, GFI Monitor finds the website, but does not match the content, when the arrow.gif file is definately on the website.
I have tried changing the content to something else, but I still have the same problem. The only time it will work is when I make it find a blank (' ') space.

Any ideas please?

Many thanks,

**** PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN EVALUATION COPY. IS THERE A LIMIT TO THE NUMBER OF SITES THAT CAN BE MONITORED USING HTTP WITH CONTENT MATCHING****

The Evaluation version of GFI Network Server Monitor does not have any limitations. There are limitations on the freeware version though.

Note that when GFI Network Server Monitor checks for the content on a website, it will search for text in the first HTML file that is returned when requesting the site. It will not check if a picture (jpg or gif) is actually loaded on the web page, but it may check if the jpg or gif are being loaded from the web page. However, I would recommend that you search for text strings rather then jpg or gif file names.

Hello,

I'm having the same problem, with the Evaluation (not freeware) version. No text matching seems to work, except "html" for example.

Is there any patch to correct this problem?

One reason might be that the page I'm monitoring is dynamically generated by IIS/ASP. That means not a single CR/LF in the output, which might (but shouldn't) be causing problems to NSM.

Also, of course NSM will not download images, but it should match the full HTML source in the monitored page (so that we could monitor HTML comments, for example). I prefer to monitor image filenames because pretty much all the text in the page is controlled by end-users.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Yours truly,

Edmar
