# HTTP endpoint monitoring with Netdata
Monitors remote http server for availability and response time.
Following charts are drawn per job:
1. **Response time** ms
- Time in 0.1 ms resolution in which the server responds.
If the connection failed, the value is missing.
2. **Status** boolean
- Connection successful
- Unexpected content: No Regex match found in the response
- Unexpected status code: Do we get 500 errors?
- Connection failed: port not listening or blocked
- Connection timed out: host or port unreachable
## Configuration
Edit the `python.d/httpcheck.conf` configuration file using `edit-config` from the Netdata [config
directory](/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`.
```bash
cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
sudo ./edit-config python.d/httpcheck.conf
```
Sample configuration and their default values.
```yaml
server:
url: 'http://host:port/path' # required
status_accepted: # optional
- 200
timeout: 1 # optional, supports decimals (e.g. 0.2)
update_every: 3 # optional
regex: 'REGULAR_EXPRESSION' # optional, see https://docs.python.org/3/howto/regex.html
redirect: yes # optional
```
### Notes
- The status chart is primarily intended for alarms, badges or for access via API.
- A system/service/firewall might block Netdata's access if a portscan or
similar is detected.
- This plugin is meant for simple use cases. Currently, the accuracy of the
response time is low and should be used as reference only.
