Keyword Monitor

Sometimes a page is technically "online" (Status Code 200) but doesn't show the desired content – for example, a white page, a database error message, or "Out of Stock". The Keyword Monitor (also called "Content Monitor") solves this problem.

How it works

The Keyword Monitor downloads the HTML body of your page and searches it for a specific text (string). It is useful for ensuring that:

• The database connection is working (check for dynamic content).
• The CMS renders correctly.
• No maintenance mode is displayed.

Configuration Modes

You can run the monitor in two modes:

1. "Must Contain" (Keyword Present)

Alert if the word is NOT found.

• Use Case: Check for "Welcome", "Imprint", or the company name in the footer.
• Example: Check for the name of a bestseller product on a shop page.

2. "Must Not Contain" (Keyword Absent)

Alert if the word IS found.

• Use Case: Check for error messages.
• Examples: "MySQL Error", "404 Not Found" (in text), "Hacked by", "Maintenance Mode".

Setup Steps

1. Create a new monitor or edit an existing one.
2. Under "Advanced Settings", select the Keyword Check option.
3. Enter the search term (Case-sensitive!).
4. Save the monitor.
