Importing urls to create multiple web site monitors
Author: ArunOne of the many enhancements that we introduced in our recent update is the facility to import urls in bulk. Earlier if you had wanted to monitor multiple websites, you had to create website monitors one by one. With the import urls option, you can accomplish this task in a jiffy. All you need to do is import urls from a .txt, .csv or .html file. There is no limit on the number of web sites that can be imported. Here are the steps to import urls into Site24x7:
- After logging into your Site24x7 account, click the 'Monitor Website' option to open the Monitor website screen. The 'Import URLs' option can be found on the right side of the screen.
- Click the Import URLs link. A new window titled 'Import URLs' will pop up.
- Browse and select the appropriate file and click the 'Upload File' option.
You need to make sure the .txt/.csv/.html file contains your website details in the following format:
Enter website details in the same line, separated by comma. [website monitor label], [url], [monitoring interval in minutes]
example:
my website,http://site24x7.com,5my corporate site,http://adventnet.com,15my personal site,http://zoho.com,10
Currently, this option is available only for website monitors. In the future, we will be offering this to other monitor types as well. What is your take on this enhancement? Do let us know your feedback!!
