Pulse - Monitoring Tool for JIRA provide provides availability of the URL requestaddress sending requests to the server. You
You can define:
- the tested URL adessaddress,
- "correct" the expected response time,
- success a successful service status strategy,
- the timeout.
If the timeout is reached , and you still do NOT have a response, it means that the server is down.
Timeout protect The timeout protects your service against the eternal from endless waiting for the response - after that period your service will be notified about the unavailability and the next test will be executed.

Below you can find sample an example of the HTTP(S) protocol configuration in PULSE - Monitoring Tool for JIRA.
There are a few steps to take test HTTP(S) service test.
They include:
- sending requested URL address to remote server,
- gathering remote server's response,
- analyze HTTP response code.
Test The test will be successful if any (in this case one) attempt finishes successfully. Timeout The timeout for each of attempt can't cannot exceed 6 seconds (i.e. 6000 millis). In addition, we checked the "Collect test history" option which means that all test results will be stored in the database. It enables a status history analysis. Stored detailed results are downloadable as *.csv a CSV file.
