Hi All,

We have couple of siebel instances and we want to monitor their urls. The YML i use looks like this. How ever i could only see Kibana url in elastic search. Am i missing anything ?

```auto
- type: http
  urls: ["http://localhost:5601"]
  schedule: '@every 10s'
  name: "DEV-Kibana"
  
- type: http
  urls: ["http://x.x.x.x/callcenter_enu"] 
  schedule: '@every 10s'
  name: "DEV-Siebel"

```

Can you share the log output? You can run heartbeat in foreground + debug mode via `-e -d '*'`.

@dkris1,

I notice that you are trying to include the "name" field.  
I tried the same, but discovered that what actually happens is the "type" is mutated with the value you define for "name".

For example, here is my YML:

- type: http  
schedule: '@every 10s'  
urls: ["[https://www.joedissmeyeer.com:443](https://www.joedissmeyeer.com:443)"]  
name: "Main\_Website"

See that I defined the "name" field to Main\_Website?  
Well, when the heartbeat data arrives in Elasticsearch the "type" field has been mutated automatically from "http" to "Main\_Website".

So basically, it isn't a good idea to use "name" as a URL description. Instead you'll have to do some Logstash groking to get what you want.

EDIT: Libbeat processors will not apply in this instance. Probably need to submit a feature request to define a URL description somewhere in the http monitor.

- Joe

Thanks Steffens... your post helped me a lot. I could see what the issues are in debug mode.

After couple of try outs i was able to monitor the siebel url.

this is how it looks now.

- type: http  
enabled: true
# List or urls to query
urls: ["[http://x.x.x.x:80/callcenter\_enu/start.swe?SWECmd=Start&SWEHo=x.x.x.x](http://x.x.x.x:80/callcenter_enu/start.swe?SWECmd=Start&SWEHo=x.x.x.x)"]
# Configure task schedule
schedule: '@every 30s'  
check.request:  
method: "GET"  
headers:  
'Accept-Language': 'en-US,en;q=0.5'  
check.response:  
status: 200  
headers:  
'Content-Language': 'en'
