This is a really simple example of monitoring a web server listening on TCP port 80. The alert contact is set to 'Memset Alert 24x7' which means the systems administrators will receive an alert and you will receive an email.
- Log in to your control panel and click 'Your Services'. Next to the server you want to monitor, click 'Status' then 'Add or Modify rules'.
- Select the service to be monitored. The default option is 'HTTP /Apache'.
- Select the alert contact and click 'Submit' to save your changes.
- A few minutes after adding the rule, go back to the control panel and click 'Server Status OK' to see the effect of the new rule. It will still show as pending, as it takes a short while for the monitoring check to actually run.
