Guidelines for configuring the HTTPS monitor

The HTTPS monitor checks the availability and response time of web servers. Use the HTTPS monitor in the following situations:

• The target website is static.

  For dynamic websites, use the TRANSX monitor.

• The target website is served over the HTTPS protocol.

  For web sites that deliver content over the HTTP protocol, select the HTTP monitor.

• To perform monitoring across multiple platforms.
• Where speed is a determining factor (the HTTPS monitor provides high performance).
