How do I wildcard the device IP/Name in an HTTP Advanced sensor's URL?

Votes:

0

I need to create multiple http sensors per device and clone them to many other devices. I'd rather not have to edit the host name in the URL every time I clone to a different device.

The URLs will be something like http://ServerName:91/Appname/aspnet.aspx

I tried %device, [%device] in place of ServerName with no luck.

Any help is appreciated.

If you enter a URL without a hostname, the devicename will be inserted:

http:///home.htm

will be sent out as

http://devicename/home.htm

Unfortunately all of my URLs will have a port number. Appreciate the response though.
