What can the outage handling settings in the HTTP monitor trigger when an issue is detected?

The outage handling settings in the HTTP monitor are designed to detect issues with the monitored website or web service and respond accordingly. When detecting an outage or performance issue, these settings can trigger alerts and generate problems in the monitoring system. This functionality is crucial for timely response and remediation actions to minimize downtime and resolve issues swiftly.

Alerts notify relevant team members or stakeholders about the detected issues, allowing them to take action before the situation affects users significantly. Problem generation records the event in the monitoring system, facilitating future analysis and reporting on reliability and performance trends. These features are essential in maintaining service level agreements and ensuring optimal performance.

In contrast, performance benchmarking focuses on measuring the performance of an application rather than responding to outages. Data archiving relates to the storage of historical data rather than real-time responses to issues detected. Session restoration is more about recovering user sessions after an issue or an outage, which is not directly triggered by the outage handling settings in the HTTP monitor. Therefore, the activation of alerts and problem generation is the most relevant outcome of the outage handling settings.
