Protector: Configuring HTTP

To configure the protector’s HTTP service, click HTTP on the Services tab of the Protector Details page. The Protector Service Details window opens to the General tab, which displays the service type at the top of the pane.

Steps

  1. Select or clear Enabled to enable or disable the HTTP service.
  2. Enter or update the service Name and Description.
  3. Enter the Ports to monitor, separated with commas (for example, 80,8080).
  4. Select Intelligent protocol discovery to have the system match data from unknown ports to this HTTP service. If enabled, the protector tries to parse the transaction regardless of the port number. (Note that this has an effect on protector performance.)

    Continue with Protector HTTP service: Traffic Filter tab.
