Can you please try it with the internal IP then instead of the hostname in the URL? Does this work?

Hi, Thanks for this answer. This URL is an internal tool I have to check. It can't work with IP, dns resolution if necessary. I thought that with PRTG it was possible to check an url plugged in a second plugged in a third etc ... it's the reason why I bought this software (my licence number is ....) Can you help me ? Thank you

It can work of course, but it could also be that PRTG is accessing the URL from the internet. And so not exactly "seeing" what you are seeing. Do you need a HTTP-Transaction sensor? Is this about several URLs to be checked in a sequence?
