1. A method for updating at least one reference value for monitoring a target server in a network, the method comprising:
- determining whether the reference value is to be updated based on a predefined condition;
performing a Hyper Text Transfer Protocol-get (HTTP-get) operation on a reference Uniform Resource Locator (URL), in response to determining that the reference value is to be updated, the reference URL being one of the URL of the target server and the URL of a reference server in the network; and
hashing the result of the HTTP-get operation.

Abstract
A method, system, apparatus and machine-readable medium for monitoring a server in a network is provided. Based on a predefined condition, at least one reference value of the server is updated, the reference value being determined from a reference Uniform Resource Locator (URL). Subsequently, a test URL of the server is used to determine a test value of the server. The state of the server is determined, based on a comparison between the test value and the reference value.
