Monitor for specific text, rather than absence of

You can do body matches when monitoring services. You simply enter the text you want to find in the body in side of the 'Body Match' field.

I hope this helps!

Sounds like I misunderstood how this works.

Just to confirm:

if I enter the word 'timeout' as the Body Match, then if that text is ABSENT from the page, there will NOT be an alarm raised. But if the word 'timeout' is PRESENT, then an alarm WILL be raised? I was thinking it currently worked the opposite way.

If the text in the body match field is not located on the returned page, a failure scenario will be indicated and the Managed team will be alerted.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

That is what I thought all along. Hence my original query as to whether the opposite might be supported sometime.

This is certainly something we'll consider adding at a future date. Thanks for letting us know about something you'd like to see. We can't always implement feature requests, but we do try to implement those most in demand.
