I'm having an issue with a http monitor checking for a send string of a web page and looking for a responce. My problem is when checking for the GET / page, I get prompted for windows NT...

CirrostratusWith a default HTTP monitor, you're able to send a single static request and wait to see if the node responds. If that response contains a configurable static string the node gets marked up. With NTLM authentication, I think you'd have to send multiple requests to negotiate the authentication header value required to access the application. This page (Click here) indicates there are three request/responses required.
If you really need to authenticate with a monitor to check the app, you might be able to write/find a client which can do this and then reference it with an external monitor.
Else, if you just want to check if the service is up and responding, you could send a standard HTTP request and look for 401 in the response (receive string).
