Users of Web sites often complain about difficulties with logging into those sites. The causes of those difficulties include user error and problems with Web server. Using up.time's HTTP (Web Services) monitor, you can monitor the page that users go to in order to login to a Web site. NOTE: The HTTP (Web Services) monitor does not monitor the page that actually processes the login.. Anatomy of the Login Page The login page will probably contain a form (denoted by the <form> tags) that describes how the fields on the page are used to process a user login. In a Web browser window, the login form will look something like this: The following is the HTML code for the form illustrated above: <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <form method="POST" action="login.aspx"> <input type='hidden' name='state' value='LOGIN'> <tr> <td align='left' valign='top' nowrap> Username: </td> <td valign='top'> <input type='text' name='user' id='user' class='loginEntries' value='' maxlength='256'> </td> </tr> <tr'> <td align='left' valign='top' nowrap> Password: </td> <td valign='top'> <input type='password' name='password' id='password' class='loginEntries' value=''> </td> </tr> <tr valign='middle'> <td align='right' colspan='2'> <input type='submit' name='login' value='Log In' title="Click this button to log in."> </td> </tr> </form> </table> The variables that are needed to configure the monitor are enclosed in the blue <form> tags. The green POST variable indicates the HTTP POST function will be used in the service monitor instead of the GET function. The green login.aspx is the actual page on the Web server that will be monitored by the HTTP service monitor. The red variables are the POST variable settings that will be entered into the monitor template. Monitoring the Login Page To monitor a login page, do the following:
