Create Page Collector

Create Page Collector

The DigitalStakeout Page Collector provides the ability for you to pull Content from a URL on a recurring frequency supported in your plan.

Navigate to the Setup Page, Select Data Aggregation Tab, Click Add Monitor.
  1. When the "Create Page Monitor" menu appears, adjust the fields.
  2. The Name field is mandatory. Name the monitor whatever you like as long as it's at least three characters.
  3. The URL field is also mandatory. Select "Add" after each entry.  You may add up to 20 URLs for this monitor.
  4. The "Follow Links" field will be defaulted to do not follow.  If you wish to have the ability to follow links in the information obtained by the page collector, change this drop-down box to "follow." The Page Collector will recursively follow each URL in the page AND collect content from the followed pages.
  5. To control/limit Follow Links, you can add regex to the "Include Path" field.  For example, if you are monitoring https://www.example.com/test.html and want to limit follow crawling to example.com, you would add the regex: /example\.com/i
  6. When you are finished, select "Save."
