I want to monitor a web server and I'm not quite sure which sensor I should use for this.

What is the difference between "HTTP" and "HTTP Full Web Page" Web Server sensors?

Accepted Answer
The HTTP Full Web Page sensor uses an Internet Explorer Instance to fully load an entire web page (including all embedded objects, such as images) and monitors the loading time. Please note: However, this sensor does not check if all embedded objects can be loaded!
The HTTP sensor performs specific HTTP requests. When used in GET mode, it merely loads the HTML code of a web page, not the embedded objects.

Does the HTTP Full Web Page sensor also download images and other objects (css, js etc) from 3rd part URLs? If so it would be extremely helpful if we could have an option to disable this. The reason being is that we don't want to be notified if a 3rd party is down. We only want to be notified when it something that we have control over.

Imagine the HTTP Full Page sensor as a window of Internet Explorer that you can only give a URL - and have no further control over it. This is the case here. We can only send your URL to the IE OCX which is used for this sensor. We can not disable downloads of any kind.
