# Monitoring an HTML-based Login Form

To set up a Monitor that will test an **HTML-based login form**, you must select a Website Standard Monitor type. This Monitor type will allow you to post data for the login and then to redirect your Monitor to the page that is beyond the login form. Start with either an existing Website Standard Monitor and add a new Test Scenario (or update an existing Test Scenario) or add a new Monitor.  
  
**Follow these instructions to set up the Test Scenario:**  
  
1. Input the necessary information for your Test Scenario name, URL, and Browser Agent
2. Set the Method to POST
3. In the Post Data field, input the login data that you want posted into the login fields
4. Set the Redirect to TRUE
5. Set the Verify Text to check for text near the bottom of the page that the monitor will be redirected to. This will ensure that the redirect was successful
