Keyword Monitor
The Keyword monitor checks that an HTTP response body contains (or does not contain) a specific string.
How It Works
- Sends an HTTP request to the target URL
- Reads the response body (up to 1 MB)
- Checks if the expected keyword is present
- Marks as DOWN if the keyword is missing
Configuration
Same as HTTP monitor, plus:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Expected string | Text that must appear in the response body |
Example
Monitor that https://api.example.com/health returns "healthy":
- Type: Keyword
- Target: https://api.example.com/health
- Expected string: healthy
