# 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. --- [](<>)
