Monitoring URL links

Is there any way , where we can monitor a URL link on azure monitor, if it goes down.

 

I have specified URL link at the bottom.

 

http://net-web1:2738

 

What's the best apparch with regards to this, having it in a Kusto query language in place or any other way.

    Yes you can use availability test in your case to monitor the any url "xyz.com"

     

    Go to Application insights   and select Availability test from panel.

      Srini1987  I did , that but I am afraid it didn't work.

       

      I added a website to availability test

       

      The website url link is not being monitored, the website was not loading today and I didn't got analert.

       

      I did create an alert, to send any an email to the team, if HTTP is not responding.

       

      Email didn't got send.

      hspintoI had a look at the article, I would like to clarify one thing, the article is mentioning this

       

      Create a URL ping test

       

      To create your first availability request, open the Availability pane and select Create Test.

       
       

      Once, I will create the availability test for the specified website, under application insights, will I get an alert via email, if the HTTP is unavailable for the specified website.

        as I mentioned earlier, after creating the Availability Test, you'll have to set up the alert to execute the required action, e.g., sending you an e-mail.

         

        Once the test is created, you can use the context menu to configure the alert rule.

        In the alert configuration blade, you'll have to create an action group to send you an e-mail whenever the alert fires/resolves. More details here.
