Hostname or IP address

2. HTTP/HTTPS via CURL
CURL is a tool that can request websites programmatically by their URL.
URL
Enter the URL of your website, webapp or internal web service.
Expected HTTP status code
Select the status code which you expect in the response. Common for successful responses is 200 (OK), but you could also check for a working redirect with 301. Or even make sure that a specific file is not available with a 404.
Expected string in response body
Additionally you can check the response body as a string for the sub-string you define here. This can be used to make sure it’s not an underlying web server responding with a default or error message and your website is served as expected.
3. DNS to resolve a hostname
Check if a hostname/domain can be resolved by your DNS. Can be used for internal networks where Confluence is hosted but also for public available domains.

Enter the SMTP Port. Common ports are 25 and 587.
