IIS

Just having a look at the new feature to monitor web sites and have set the System, Web, We Sites tab to monitor a clients SBS Companyweb site in IIS, I know this site is working as on the SBS server if I run http://companyweb it displays the web page, however when I add this to PC Monitor it displays and error: The web site 'Companyweb' (http://companyweb) is not available: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized I assume then that you are referencing this web site as an external site rather than an Intranet or internal site or does PC Monitor send the URL request locally from the server its on?

I see there are settings that allow you to monitor IIS and then to be notified if application pools or websites are down. I can't see any reference to what this actually does though - is it just a check that the site is running in IIS and not stopped ? Are there any options for slightly more advanced monitoring. My preferred approach is normally a simple screen scrape of a url and then check for text / phrase in the response. This allows with careful use of text to check that a website is connecting to a db OK etc Any possibility / plans for anything like this ? We currently use other tools for this - but it would be great to be able to bring it all together…

Good day, I have an FTP site running on one of my servers. It is an IIS site but when setting up the IIS server module it only shows IIS web sites and not FTP sites. How would I monitor my FTP site so that I can get notified if it goes down? Thanks
