I am looking for a solution for monitoring the availability of websites + checking websites for specific content. Right now i use the built-in SCOM Web Transaction Monitoring, but it’s a pain creating and customizing these monitors, the alerts generated from these monitors are also not satisfying i searched around and found the URL Genie MP and also an MP from Russ Slaten. I would like to know what you guys out there use
