Troubleshooting URL Monitor
When configuring a URL monitor in Applications Manager, you might encounter several errors related to accessibility, configuration, or server-side issues. Below are common errors along with step-by-step troubleshooting instructions to help you resolve them.
General troubleshooting for URL monitor
Ensure that the URL is accessible from the server in which Applications Manager is installed. You can check that by accessing the URL in a browser or using cURL/Wget commands.
If the URL is accessible from the server but Applications Manager cannot connect to it, then check the proxy configuration of your system and Applications Manager, ensure they are the same.
For GET URLs, check if the response code being returned by the URL in a browser is the same as the one shown in Applications Manager. To do this,
- Open a new tab in a browser from Applications Manager installed server.
- Press F12 or open the Network tab in developer tools.
- Access the problematic URL and check the response code in the Network tab under status column for the URL.
- If the same response code is shown in Applications Manager then the URL's default response code is not 200.
- In such cases, modify the "Error if Response Code is" condition to "!=" the URL's default response code in the URL add/edit monitor page.
