Content Time - Content time, also referred to as time to download the last byte, is the time in seconds that it takes a website to deliver all of its content (images, HTML, and other objects) from the web server where it resides to the client browser or the WebSitePulse agent. You can measure the content time and other components of your website with our Website Test tool.

Cookie - Bits of information about a user that web servers store on the client computer for their later use. For example, web servers can use cookies to store the user's website configuration, to remember items placed in a "shopping cart" at an online shopping site, or to store account and password information for subscription sites.

CRAM-MD5 SMTP authentication - CRAM-MD5 stands for challenge-response authentication mechanism (CRAM). In CRAM-MD5 authentication, the server first sends a challenge string to the client. The client responds with a username followed by a checksum. The checksum contains the user's password as the secret key, and the server's original challenge as the message. The server also calculates its own checksum with its notion of the user's password, and if the client's checksum and the server's checksum match then authentication was successful.

Daemon - A daemon is a computer program that runs continuously in the background and exists for the purpose of handling periodic service requests that a computer system expects to receive. The daemon computer program forwards the requests to other computer programs or processes as appropriate. Every web server connected to the Internet has an HTTPD (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Daemon) that continuously listens for requests coming in from Web clients and their users.

Defacement - A website defacement is the substitution of the original home page by a system hacker that breaks into a web server and alters the hosted website creating one of his own.

FTP - The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) provides the basic elements of file sharing between hosts. FTP uses TCP to create a virtual connection for control information and then creates a separate TCP connection for data transfers. The control connection uses an image of the TELNET protocol to exchange commands and messages between hosts.

Gateway - A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another network. On the Internet, a node or stopping point can be either a gateway node or a host (end-point) node. Both the computers of Internet users and the computers that serve pages to users are host nodes. The computers that control traffic within your company's network or at your local Internet service provider (ISP) are gateway nodes.

In the network for an enterprise, a computer server acting as a gateway node is often also acting as a proxy server and a firewall server. A gateway is often associated with both a router, which knows where to direct a given packet of data that arrives at the gateway, and a switch, which furnishes the actual path in and out of the gateway for a given packet.

Host name - This is the unique name of the server that is used for reaching it on a specific network. This could be a FQDN (Fully qualified domain name) for example www.websitepulse.com or pda.websitepulse.com, or an IPv4 address like 207.97.202.80. Our service currently doesn't support IPv6 addressing but we have plans to add this feature in the future.

Internet - A global network of networks through which computers communicate by sending information in packets. Each network consists of computers connected by cables or wireless links.

Intranet - A part of the Internet or part of the Web used internally within a company or organization. A local network.

Intrusion Detection Systems - ID stands for Intrusion Detection, which is the art of detecting inappropriate, incorrect, or anomalous activity. ID systems that operate on a host to detect malicious activity on that host are called host-based ID systems, and ID systems that operate on network data flows are called network-based ID systems.

Sometimes, a distinction is made between misuse and intrusion detection. The term intrusion is used to describe attacks from the outside; whereas, misuse is used to describe an attack that originates from the internal network. However, most people don't draw such distinctions.

The most common approaches to ID are statistical anomaly detection and pattern-matching detection.

IP (Internet Protocol) - The protocol that governs how computers send packets across the Internet.

IPR (Intellectual Property Rights) - The conditions under which the information created by one party may be appreciated by another party.

ISP - Internet Service Provider. A company that provides access to the Internet. In addition to serving individuals, ISPs also serve large companies, providing a direct connection from the company's networks to the Internet. Some users have a cable or some sort of wireless link to their ISP. For others, their computer may dial an ISP by phone and send and receive Internet packets over the phone line; the ISP then forwards the packets over the Internet.

Java - A programming language developed by Sun Microsystems. Designed for portability and usability embedded in small devices, Java took off as a language for small applications ("applets") that ran within a Web browser.

MySQL - MySQL is a popular open-source database often used for web development.

Navigation - The process of moving from one node to another through the hypertext web . This is normally done by following links . Various features of a particular browser may make this easier. These include keeping a history of where the user has been, and drawing diagrams of links between nearby nodes.

Net - Short for Internet.

New Host - The new host name should be added only by entering the domain name or the IP address of the server (e.g. mydomain.com), without protocol name (http://, https://, etc.).

NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol) - A protocol that defines how news articles are passed around between computers. Each computer passes an article to any of its neighbors that have not yet got it.

NS record - An NS record (Name Servers record) specifies the Name Servers responsible for a specific domain name records.

NTLM Authentication - A Microsoft authentication protocol used by servers running the Windows operation system

Numeric Pagers Contacts - The Numeric Pagers receive alerts in numeric codes, each code representing specific error. There are default codes, which you can modify at any time. Every alert to these contacts is charged at the current rate, billed to your monthly invoice. This notification service is currently available for the US, Canada and UK numeric pager numbers.

The Numeric Pagers cannot receive reports by email.

Outside the Firewall - Usually refers to a monitoring process outside of an organization’s local area network.

Page Download Time - Usually refers to the time it takes a web browser or the WebSitePulse monitoring agent to download all objects and components of a specific web page.

Path - An ordered set of nodes which represent a sequence in which a web can be read. A path may represent the sequence a reader actually used, or may be a sequence recommended to the reader by the author.

Ping - Packet Internet Gropper. A utility that uses ICMP to send out echo requests, and then uses the reply packets to calculate latency between the sending and the destination hosts. To see how it works, try a Ping Test from our test tools.

Port - In TCP/IP and UDP networks, an endpoint to a logical connection. The port number identifies what type of port it is. For example, port 80 is used for HTTP traffic.

Protocol - A language and a set of rules that allow computers to interact in a well-defined way. Examples are FTP, HTTP, HTTPS and other.

Proxy - A node that relays a message between a requester and a Web service, appearing to the Web service to be the requester.

Proxy server - A server that sits between a client application (such as a web browser) and a real server. It intercepts all requests to the real server to see if it can fulfill the requests itself. If not, it forwards the request to the real server.

Query String - A query string (or search string) is an optional part of a URL that goes after the file name and begins with a question mark (?). This part contains additional variables used by the web application - for example the url http://www.domain.com/file.php?myvalue=1 contains one parameter called "myvalue" which is equal to 1. This field should also be used to send POST data parameters when a POST method is selected.
You can enter multiple parameters separated by & or by a new line.

Redirect Time - The time it takes to follow any HTTP redirects in the HTTP servers response. The redirect time will also include the time needed to perform any DNS lookups or connection times that might occur during this process. The redirect time will be calculated only for HTTP protocol level redirects - it is not available for redirects that occur after the HTTP transaction is finished like the ones caused by META refresh tags or JavaScript functions.

Rich Internet Applications (RIA) - Rich Internet applications are web applications that have the features and functionality of traditional desktop applications. RIAs typically run in a web browser, do not require software installation and keep the bulk of the data on the application server.

Router - In packet-switched networks such as the Internet, a router is a device or, in some cases, software in a computer, that determines the next network point to which a packet should be forwarded toward its destination. The router is connected to at least two networks and decides which way to send each information packet based on its current understanding of the state of the networks it is connected to. A router is located at any gateway (where one network meets another), including each point-of-presence on the Internet. A router is often included as part of a network switch.

RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) - The Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is developed by the IETF in 1998. It is a protocol for use in streaming media systems which allows clients to remotely control a streaming media server, issuing VCR-like commands such as "play" and "pause", recording and possibly device control, time-based access to files on a server and absolute positioning within the media stream. Most RTSP servers use the standards-based RTP as the transport protocol for the actual audio/video data.

SIP - The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a signaling and call setup protocol for VOIP communications. It can be used to create two-party, multiparty, or multicast sessions that include Internet telephone calls, multimedia distribution, and multimedia conferences. It can also be used in any application where session initiation is a requirement like presence and events notifications, instant messaging and Internet real-time fax delivery signaling. SIP is designed to be independent of the underlying transport layer and for this reason SIP clients can use TCP or UDP (typically on port 5060) to connect to SIP servers and other SIP endpoints.

SMS (Short Message Service) - The Short Message Service (SMS) is the ability to send and receive text messages to and from mobile telephones. The text can comprise of words or numbers or an alphanumeric combination. SMS was created when it was incorporated into the Global System for Mobiles (GSM) digital mobile phone standard.

A single short message can be up to 160 characters of text in length using default GSM alphabet coding, 140 characters when Cyrillic character set is used and 70 characters when UCS2 international character coding is used

SMS contact - SMS (Short Message Service) is a text message that can be sent to almost any cellular phone or other wireless device in the World. This notification service is provided directly through our multiple SMS gateways. Every alert to the SMS contacts is charged an additional fee and is billed to your monthly invoice. The majority of the wireless networks are charged at US$0.10 per SMS, but some may be more or less expensive.

The SMS notification contacts cannot receive reports by email.

SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. A protocol used to exchange mail between computers.

SNMP - Simple Network Management Protocol. A set of rules for management of networks and the monitoring of network devices and functions.

SNMP contact - A SNMP trap will be sent to the configured server. This type of contacts cannot receive reports by email. The WebSitePulse.com MIB file which defines the traps sent by our monitoring agent can be downloaded from the contact configuration page or from the following URL
http://www.websitepulse.com/contacts/WEBSITEPULSE-NOTIFY-MIB.txt

No aditional fees are added for receiving SNMP traps.

SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) - SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol, a.k.a. Service Oriented Architecture Protocol) is a protocol for exchanging XML-based messages between applications over computer networks, normally using HTTP or HTTPS. There are several different types of messaging patterns in SOAP, but by far the most common is the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) pattern, in which one network node (the client) sends a request message to another node (the server), and the server immediately sends a response message to the client.

SPF (Sender Policy Framework) - The Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is an open standard specifying a technical method to prevent sender address forgery. It protects the envelope sender address (return-path), which is used for the delivery of messages.

SSL - Secure Sockets Layer. Both Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer support SSL, and many web sites use the protocol to obtain confidential user information, such as credit card numbers. By convention, web pages that require an SSL connection start with "https" instead of "http." WebSitePulse supports SSL when specifying URLs for URL monitors.

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) - IETF RFC793 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0793.txt) defines the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). TCP provides a reliable stream delivery and virtual connection service to applications through the use of sequenced acknowledgment with retransmission of packets when necessary.

Time-out - A period of time after which some condition becomes true if some event has not occurred. For example, a session that is terminated because its state has been inactive for a specified period of time is said to "time out".

Traceroute - Traceroute is a UNIX communication program that is used to see the route packets take to network host. This program attempts to trace the route an IP packet would follow to some internet host by launching UDP probe packets with a small ttl (time to live) then listening for an ICMP "time exceeded" reply from a gateway. It starts its probes with a ttl of one and increase by one until it gets an ICMP "port unreachable" (which means it has got to "host") or hit a max of 30 hops.

Traceroute will start its probe using UDP port number 33434. Traceroute hopes that nothing is listening on UDP ports 33434 to 33463 at the destination host (so an ICMP PORT_UNREACHABLE message will be returned to terminate the route tracing).

TTFB - Time to First Byte. See First Byte Time

UDP (User Datagram Protocol) - The User Datagram Protocol (UDP), defined by IETF RFC768 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0768.txt), provides a simple, but unreliable message service for transaction-oriented services. Each UDP header carries both a source port identifier and destination port identifier, allowing high-level protocols to target specific applications and services among hosts.

Uptime - Uptime is the percentage of time that a website, server, web system or web application is working properly and servicing requests.

URL Contacts - The URL contacts will open a specific page in case of an alert event. This service can be used to reboot your server or to perform any other action that can be triggered by opening a specific web page. The WebSitePulse monitoring agent supports both HTTP and HTTPS protocols and the URL can be requested using GET or POST request methods.

The alert details are sent as a single GET or POST parameter that is appended to your URL so you can record them in your database or process them within your web application. It is recommendable to modify the alert contents for this contact so you could process the information sent by our monitoring agent more easily.

For example if you set the content of the alert that is set in connection errors to

<label>,<targettype>,<status>,<date>,<resptime>

you will get a comma-separated list that includes the name and the type of the monitored target, the error message from our monitoring agent, the date/time the problem was detected and the total response time.

A sample URL with the notification message attached looks like this

http://www.domain.com/alerts/page.php?
text=You+server+is+down.+The+error+received+was+Connection+refused

To use URL contacts that require basic HTTP authentication you should include the username and the password in the following way

http://username:password@www.domain.com/alerts/page.php

Both the username and the password should be URL encoded. For example if your username is myname@domain.com the URL contact should be entered like

http://myname%40domain.com:password@www.domain.com/alerts/page.php

Alerts to the URL contacts are free.

Voice call contact - The Voice Call contacts receive alerts by a phone call. A human voice will announce the details of the error based on your customization of the alert message for each individual voice contact. Each call to these numbers is charged at the current rate, billed to your monthly invoice. This notification service is currently available for the US, Canada and UK phone numbers.

The Voice Call contacts cannot receive reports by mail.

Web - Short for World Wide Web.

Web application - Web application is an application that is accessed over the Internet or an intranet. It is usually structured as a three-tiered application. In this form, a Web browser as the first tier sends requests to the middle tier - an engine using some dynamic Web content technology (such as ASP, ASP.NET, CGI, ColdFusion, JSP/Java, PHP, etc.), which services them by making queries and updates against a database - the third tier, and generates a user interface.

Web site - A collection of interlinked Web pages, including a host page, residing at the same network location.

Web Transaction - Transaction is a sequence of URLs combined into one complete process. Typical web transactions are when a customer logs in a member website, makes a purchase on a shopping site, fills in and submits a web form and performs other interactions with a website and web application. The WebSitePulse Transaction Monitoring allows Customers to measure the experience of online users navigating through multiple steps of their websites.

Website Defacement - A website defacement is the substitution of the original home page by a system hacker that breaks into a web server and alters the hosted website creating one of his own.

WebSitePulse - A mission-critical subscription-based remote website, web server and web transaction monitoring service, providing accessibility, availability and performance monitoring with real time alert and reporting services for Internet-connected Web Systems. WebSitePulse will monitor up to every 1 minute virtually any TCP- or UDP-enabled Internet Web System, including but not limited to:
