Monitoring Wikipedia Articles

I would like to monitor the changes to a specific wikipedia article in PRTG. The behavior of the sensor should be something like: if some changes were made to the article, then display a warning and give a summary of the changes. is there a sensor that can do that?

Hello Johannes,

Thank you for your message.

To monitor an article from Wikipedia, you can use the HTTP Advanced sensor.
You can find its manual right here: https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/http_advanced_sensor

This sensor is able to detect modifications which have been made in the source code of the page, however it is not able to show what have been changed.

Kind regards.
