We have an http sensor that is unable to find any keyword we enter on the settings page for the sensor.

Using a simple PHP script, we have no problem finding the desired keyword. The page is http://www.acumenitsupport.com

The keyword being sought is Information Using a PhP string search I get this result:

File Length is: 425297 Found Information at 406024

I deleted and recreated the sensor by cloning a similar sensor that is working for a different web site on the same server. This site still has the same problem with the cloned sensor.

Article Comments

Hello,

Thank you for the KB-Post. I could reproduce the issue here, and to debug it, I enabled the "Store latest HTML result" on the sensor. In the resulting sensor log ("Result of Sensor xxxxx-A.txt") the HTML was stored which the sensor sees, and it's something entirely different, than what you get when visiting the page with a proper browser. Does the page differentiate in any way there? So that it redirects any requests from unknown client types to a different page?

best regards
