HTTP application pings are simply web requests. The only parameter that you need to supply is the URL parameter. It takes the form :
URL=[<protocol>://]<host>[/<resource>][:<port>]

When using this type of active measurement, the agent will issue an HTTP request with the following format:

GET http://<Resource> HTTP/1.0
   User-Agent: PremiTech PerformanceGuard
   Host: <HostName>
   Connection: Close
   Pragma: no-cache
   Content-Type: */*

and await the reply.

If a reply is received (before the timeout is reached) the round-trip time will be noted.

Parameter

Description

The number of microseconds that it took to get the response.

Resolution of the timer varies greatly with the operating system. On computers Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server the resolution is around 1000 microseconds.

Status

  • 0: A request couldn't be send due to a configuration problem

  • 100-517: Status code returned by the http server. See internet rfc2616 for details

  • 999: A response was never received
