HTTP configuration
Reference information about HTTP configuration.
After an HTTP data source is added, the configuration is displayed on the Runtime Configuration page of the Agent Editor. Configuration sections are added for URL Monitoring, for Proxy Server authentication, and for Java.
URL Monitoring configuration
The URL Monitoring configuration section contains the following properties:
URL Monitoring configuration properties
Name Valid values Required Description HTTP URLs file Path to a file Yes Path to the file that contains a list of URLs. Page Object Collection Yes, No The default value is Yes.

The Proxy Server configuration section contains the following properties:

No The HTTP port number of the proxy server. Proxy Password Password No Password for the proxy server.
If the Proxy Hostname property is blank, no proxy is used.
Java configuration
If you define an HTTP data source in your agent, the agent must use Java to connect to the HTTP server. Java configuration properties are added to the agent automatically. The following Java configuration properties are specific to the agent runtime configuration. The Agent Builder does not require the Java properties because it uses its own JVM and logging, which are configured through the JLog plug-in):
Java configuration properties
Name Valid values Required Description Java Home Fully qualified path to a directory No A fully qualified path that points to the Java installation directory. Trace Level Choice (The default value is Error)
Yes Use this property to specify the trace level that is used by the Java providers. See (Trace log format). JVM Arguments String No Use this property to specify an optional list of arguments to the Java virtual machine.
