URL List
You can create multiple server file lists and indicate which one you want the agent to use.
To select the list:
1
From the Server/URL List File, select the list that you want to use to control the Web pages
that are monitored. The default is
WebServerListFile.
2
If you want to clone the list, click Clone. When prompted, enter a name for the cloned list. For
more information on cloning, see the vFoglight Administration and Configuration Guide.

If you want to add to a list file, click Edit.
The list appears in the right pane.
Continue with the following steps:

Click Add new row.

d
From the Page Fetch Policy drop-down list, select the method you want to use to obtain the
Web page.

timestamp and size), which the Web browser uses to compare against a cached copy of the
page.
e
Select one of the Monitor Page options to start or stop the monitoring of the web server and
its Web page (specified in step c) by the WebMonitor agent.
f
In the Timeout (msec) box, enter the time out parameter in milliseconds. If the server times
out, a string

information, refer to the Cartridge for Operating Systems Reference Guide.
