Keyword monitor

Keyword-based monitors look for a specified keyword or phrase in the page response. The keyword lookup is case-insensitive.

Creating a keyword-based monitor:

  • Go to Monitors → Create monitor.
  • Enter your URL or IP address in the URL to monitor field.
  • Change Alert us when the URL above selection to Doesn't contain a keyword.
  • Enter your keyword (eg. SUCCESS) in the Keyword to find in page input field.
  • Click Create monitor.
