    Yes, The Web Application Availability Monitoring template is designed to monitor the availability, performance, and health of web applications.

    To set up monitoring using the Web Application Availability Monitoring template, you would typically follow these configuration steps:

    • Define the URLs: Specify the web application URLs that you want to monitor.
    • Set Monitoring Parameters: Configure the monitoring parameters, such as test frequency, timeout settings, and the criteria for generating alerts.
    • Deploy Watcher Nodes: Ensure that watcher nodes are deployed in locations that can access the web services being monitored.
    • Configure Alerts: Set up alerting mechanisms to notify relevant personnel when issues are detected based on the defined thresholds.

    By following these steps, you can ensure that your web services are continuously monitored for availability and performance, allowing for timely responses to any issues that may arise.
