| Option (type) | Description

| [[monitor-http-urls]]**`urls`**
(<<synthetics-lightweight-data-string,string>>)
| **Required**. The URL to ping.

| [[monitor-http-max_redirects]]**`max_redirects`**
(<<synthetics-lightweight-data-numbers,number>>)
a| The total number of redirections Synthetics will follow.

By default, Synthetics will not follow redirects, but will report the status of the redirect. If set to a number greater than `0`, Synthetics will follow that number of redirects.

When this option is set to a value greater than `0`, the `monitor.ip` field will no longer be reported, as multiple DNS requests across multiple IPs may return multiple IPs. Fine-grained network timing data will also not be recorded, as with redirects that data will span multiple requests. Specifically the fields `http.rtt.content.us`, `http.rtt.response_header.us`, `http.rtt.total.us`, `http.rtt.validate.us`, `http.rtt.write_request.us` and `dns.rtt.us` will be omitted.

**Default**: `0`

| [[monitor-http-proxy_headers]]**`proxy_headers`**
| Additional headers to send to proxies during `CONNECT` requests.

| [[monitor-http-proxy_url]]**`proxy_url`**
(<<synthetics-lightweight-data-string,string>>)
a| The HTTP proxy URL. This setting is optional.

**Example**:

[source,yaml]
----
http://proxy.mydomain.com:3128
----

| [[monitor-http-username]]**`username`**
(<<synthetics-lightweight-data-string,string>>)
a| The username for authenticating with the server. The credentials are passed with the request. This setting is optional.

You need to specify credentials when your `check.response` settings require it. For example, you can check for a 403 response (`check.response.status: [403]`) without setting credentials.

| [[monitor-http-password]]**`password`**
(<<synthetics-lightweight-data-string,string>>)
| The password for authenticating with the server. This setting is optional.

| [[monitor-http-ssl]]**`ssl`**
({heartbeat-ref}/configuration-ssl.html[SSL])
a| The TLS/SSL connection settings for use with the HTTPS endpoint. If you don't specify settings, the system defaults are used.

**Example**:

[source,yaml]
----
- type: http
id: my-http-service
name: My HTTP Service
urls: "https://myhost:443"
schedule: '@every 5s'
ssl:
certificate_authorities: ['/etc/ca.crt']
supported_protocols: ["TLSv1.0", "TLSv1.1", "TLSv1.2"]
----

| [[monitor-http-headers]]**`headers`**
(<<synthetics-lightweight-data-bool,boolean>>)
a| Controls the indexing of the HTTP response headers `http.response.body.headers` field. Set `response.include_headers` to `false` to disable.

**Default**: `true`

| [[monitor-http-response]]**`response`**
a| Controls the indexing of the HTTP response body contents to the `http.response.body.contents` field.

**`include_body`** (`"on_error"`, `"never"`, or `"always"`)::
Set `response.include_body` to one of the following:
+
* `on_error`: Include the body if an error is encountered during the check. This is the default.
* `never`: Never include the body.
* `always`: Always include the body with checks.

**`include_body_max_bytes`** (<<synthetics-lightweight-data-numbers,number>>)::
Set `response.include_body_max_bytes` to control the maximum size of the stored body contents.
+
**Default**: `1024`

| [[monitor-http-check]]**`check`**
a| **`request`**::
An optional `request` to send to the remote host. Under `check.request`, specify these options:
+
--
**`method`** (`"HEAD"`, `"GET"`, `"POST"`, or `"OPTIONS"`):::
The HTTP method to use.

**`headers`** (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers[HTTP headers]):::
A dictionary of additional HTTP headers to send. By default Synthetics will set the 'User-Agent' header to identify itself.

**`body`** (<<synthetics-lightweight-data-string,string>>):::
Optional request body content.
--
+
**Example**: This monitor POSTs an `x-www-form-urlencoded` string to the endpoint `/demo/add`.
+
[source,yaml]
----
check.request:
method: POST
headers:
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
# urlencode the body:
body: "name=first&email=someemail%40someemailprovider.com"
----

**`response`**::
The expected `response`.
+
Under `check.response`, specify these options:
+
**`status`** (list of <<synthetics-lightweight-data-string,string>>s):::
A list of expected status codes. 4xx and 5xx codes are considered `down` by default. Other codes are considered `up`.
+
**Example**:
+
[source,yaml]
----
check.response:
status: [200, 201]
----

**`headers`** (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers[HTTP headers]):::
The required response headers.

**`body.positive`** (list of <<synthetics-lightweight-data-string,string>>s):::
A list of regular expressions to match the body output. Only a single expression needs to match.
+
**Example**:
+
This monitor examines the response body for the strings 'foo' or 'Foo':
+
[source,yaml]
----
check.response:
status: [200, 201]
body:
positive:
- foo
- Foo
----

**`body.negative`** (list of <<synthetics-lightweight-data-string,string>>s):::
A list of regular expressions to match the body output negatively. Return match failed if single expression matches. HTTP response bodies of up to 100MiB are supported.
+
This monitor examines match successfully if there is no 'bar' or 'Bar' at all, examines match failed if there is 'bar' or 'Bar' in the response body:
+
**Example**:
+
[source,yaml]
----
check.response:
status: [200, 201]
body:
negative:
- bar
- Bar
----
+
**Example**:
+
This monitor examines match successfully only when 'foo' or 'Foo' in body AND no 'bar' or 'Bar' in body:
+
[source,yaml]
----
check.response:
status: [200, 201]
body:
positive:
- foo
- Foo
negative:
- bar
- Bar
----

**`json`**:::
A list of expressions executed against the body when parsed as JSON.
Body sizes must be less than or equal to 100 MiB.
+
**`description`**::::
A description of the check.

**`expression`**::::
The following configuration shows how to check the response using
https://github.com/PaesslerAG/gval/blob/master/README.md[gval] expressions
when the body contains JSON:
+
**Example**:
+
[source,yaml]
----
check.response:
status: [200]
json:
- description: check status
expression: 'foo.bar == "myValue"'
----
