Is it possible to configure alarm when site uses http instead of https or when we go to https and then redirected to http? This seems like a not good thing that can be detected by synthetics and created alert/inform message.

Hi @Alexander_A,

For scripted tests (browser monitors), it's quite possible to assert the URL of the visited page.

For example:

This test will **fail** as the page will be redirected from `http` to `https`.

```typescript
step('Goto Github HTTP', async () => {
    await page.goto('http://github.com');

    // Assert URL is HTTP
    expect(page.url().startsWith('http://')).toEqual(true);
});

```

Whereas the following will **pass** :

```typescript
step('Goto Github HTTP', async () => {
    await page.goto('http://github.com');

    // Assert URL is HTTPS
    expect(page.url().startsWith('https://')).toEqual(true);
});

```

So you can define your assertion however you want, and the based on the status of the monitor, you can setup alert.
