  • 1.  How can i make the normal state of a monitor as 403 Forbidden?

    Posted Jan 30, 2017 10:16 PM

    Hi There,

     

    I need to have a monitor set up using App Synthetic Monitor that will check a URL via HTTP and will issue an alert if the page can be accessible but will not issue an alert when it returns a 403 forbidden message. There was no option in the advanced view when creating the new monitor so I'm not sure how this can be done?

     

    Thanks,

    Denis

    Hi Denis,

     

    In the script monitor, you could uncheck "ignore HTTP errors", however if you only want to ignore 403 specifically, the only way to do that would be to use a JMeter script, use an assertion to check for 403 errors and when you get one, mark it as a success.  Otherwise JMeter will return that as an actual error.  So you would have to trap that error AFTER it occurs.

     

    Thanks,
    Matt
