Web monitoring is the process of observing and testing the performance, availability, and functionality of a website or web application. It involves continuously checking various metrics such as uptime, response time, and user experience to ensure the site operates smoothly and meets performance goals. This proactive approach, usually with web monitoring tools like PRTG, helps identify issues promptly, minimizing downtime and ensuring a positive user experience.
Monitoring your website with online monitoring tools such as PRTG is crucial for several reasons.
To monitor if login attempts to a web page with a specific username and password combination are successful, you can use the HTTP Advanced sensor. If the website of which you want to check login credentials uses POST data to log in to the internal area, you have to find out the needed POST data for the login and provide it with the correct syntax in the settings of the sensor.
Furthermore, you have to find the response of the login form for unsuccessful login attempts. The HTTP Advanced sensor can check this answer for defined keywords and show a warning or down status if keywords are found that indicate a failed login.

In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
