Need to monitor a website from specific workstations.
Hello, I think I know the answer to this but just wanted to see if there was a more efficient way to do it. We have about 10 workstations whose only function is to have a specific web site running. The website is basically a report that refreshes itself every few seconds. The web app will stop functioning if the workstations momentarily loses it's wireless connectivity. Even when connectivity is re-established, the application stops automatically refreshing or it hangs. I've decided the only way to monitor this is to create a web application monitor for each workstation and to make each workstation the corresponding watcher node. Is this the only way? Again I'm not necessarily interested in monitoring the web server itself but just the Internet Explorer session on each of these workstations. Thanks, eegor

hi, There are a few options but using Synthetic Transactions (web application monitoring feature) that can help you detect issues with the web application. I'm not sure monitoring from the same server as the app is at is a good idea though, depends on what you care about. In most cases, you should setup a separate computer to be a watcher node. If the server is turned off, for instance, do you want to know that this happened? If you do, you should monitor from a different computer so that in that situation you get notified the web server/app is not available.
