Hello,

how is the HTTP-Advanced Sensor set up? Is the page (which shall be monitored) "public" so that we could have a look at it?

best regards.

Hello,

No the page is not online at least not for public, but it is a standard Citrix WebInterface 5.4 Login page. I also created a small test page including the plain text words “Hello World”, but the sensor cannot find “hello” or “world” or “Hello World” (without quotes)

The sensor use the request method GET and the "Enable key word check (positive)" and looking for plaint text Hello

Does the sensor wok with the normal login page without the keyword check?

Yes, without the keyword and with * as keyword, the sensor is working as expected! I’m using the “View Source” function of IE to determine the keyword I would like to check for. The keywords I tried are part of the page header and/or the body of the source page

Could it be that the Sensor then sees a different version of the page due to the different User Agent of IE vs. the sensor?
