I am trying to configure synthetic monitoring for my website, but for some reason it is not working.
This is my scenario.
step 1: hit the url for suppose say ([https://example.com](https://example.com))
step 2: this [https://example.com](https://example.com) will be redirecting to [https://demo.example.com](https://demo.example.com) with user name.
I am able to achieve step 1 but not sure how to achieve step 2. Any help would be appreciated.
I am running this current set up in heartbeat.yml file and i am running this inside Docker.
```auto
heartbeat.monitors:
- type: browser
id: elastic-website
name: Elastic website
schedule: "@every 1m"
source:
inline:
script: |-
step('launch application', async () => {
await page.goto('https://example.com');
});
```

Hi @rahul_sirugudi,
I think using the Playwright method [`wait_for_url`](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-wait-for-url) is possibly what you need:
`await page.wait_for_url('https://demo.example.com')`
I would recommend checking the documentation to see if the `timeout` and/ or `wait_until` arguments should also be specified as well.
I've not given this a try so let me know if this solves your problem.
