The latest version of System Monitor adds one often-requested feature: HTTP Monitoring
The HTTP monitoring works just like the Ping monitoring, but uses a user-defined url instead. Labels can be used to give a friendly name to to the site/page being monitored as well.
<!-- HTTP Monitor: must provide the address (url or ip address) of the host to monitor -->
<monitor runFrequency="00:01" type="SystemMonitor.Monitors.HttpMonitor,SystemMonitor">
<settings>
<setting name="host" value="http://localhost/fake.page" />
<setting name="label" value="Fake Site" />
</settings>
<notifiers>
<notifier type="SystemMonitor.Notifiers.GrowlNotifier,SystemMonitor" />
</notifiers>
</monitor>

Super Important Note: Make sure to make a backup of your .config file *before* installing this update. The update will overwrite your .config file so any changes will be lost otherwise. I apologize for the inconvenience - this will be resolved in the next version.


Using a ™ in the .config file breaks it..
