The URL Monitoring source service monitors a web page and generates an event when the service detects a change to the contents of the web page. When the web page content changes, this service creates an event with one or more properties that contains the contents of the entire document.
The service supports monitoring http, https, ftp, and file. If you specify a local file in the URL field, the file that you specify do not need to exist when you create the service. You can regard the error generated in the web application console as informational.
You must configure the machine-to-resource authentication outside RulePoint.
