You're still using a hostname for the URL. From this switch, can you run:

telnet chantilly-rt 80

And get a successful connection?

6509#telnet chantilly-rt 80

% telnet connections not permitted from this terminal

6509#telnet 192.168.4.35 80

% telnet connections not permitted from this terminal

6509#

ip host chantilly-rt 192.168.4.35

Try removing the collector from the device, then re-add it (i.e. delete the collector through IPM then recreate it). Also, make sure that this URL returns a proper result code. You can check this from another host:

telnet chantilly-rt 80

GET /cgi-bin/routers2.cgi HTTP/1.0

(Then hit enter twice)

You should get a proper HTTP response.

I changed URL lookup string to http://

I am observing the results.

Do you mean you're waiting to see what happens, or you're seeing the same problem?

After I changed URL lookup string to server IP address, the error went away and I got 100% successful attempt (2 out of 2).

Will the result show up in HTTP report later?
