  2. Open cd_monitor_conf.xml for editing.

    <HttpServiceHealthMonitor ServiceType="ArchiveManagerHost" ServiceInstance="local"
      PollInterval="5m" TimeoutInterval="30s">
      <Request URL="http://localhost:8080/cd_archiveweb/host" />
      <!-- <Authentication Scheme="Basic" Username="admin" Password="admin"/> -->
    </HttpServiceHealthMonitor>
