Table 3‑17. follow Option
Option Information Value
Description Follow Redirects
Default enabled
Optional true
Type boolean
Notes Enable if the HTTP request that is generated will be re-
directed. This is important, because an HTTP server returns
a dierent code for a redirect and
vRealize Operations Manager determines that the HTTP
service check is unavailable if it is a redirect, unless this
redirect conguration is set.
