there is not out of the box sensor in PRTG that can do this, but it would be possible with a powershell

Hi Andrew,

This can be done with the 'HTTP Advanced' sensor.

On the sensor settings page check to 'Enable key word check (positive)' and enter

<title>Sign In</title>

in the 'Response Must Include' field.
