# Specifying URL paths of web-based services (classic)

{% hint style="info" %}
Nexthink Finder is a Windows-only desktop application whose functionality is now available within the Nexthink web interface. Nexthink can now be used directly from a browser and most functions no longer require an additional desktop application.
{% endhint %}

You can define services in Nexthink for measuring the connectivity of employees to web applications and websites by stating the domain name of the particular provider of the service. In some cases, you may want to differentiate several services that lie within the same domain. For instance, you may want to highlight the difference between:

* `www.example.com/agenda`
* `www.example.com/share`

To treat these two addresses as different services, you must first [configure your Collectors to report the URLs](/platform/configuring_nexthink/bringing-data-into-your-nexthink-instance/deploying-nexthink-in-non-vdi-environment/installing-collector/windows-collector-references/reporting-the-url-of-http-web-requests-classic.md) of the web requests addressed to the domain `www.example.com.`

Then [create two services](/platform/user-guide/using-finder-classic/monitoring-it-services-classic/creating-a-service-with-finder-classic.md) in Finder of the type **HTTP web requests with URL path**. In addition to the domain name, you can specify a URL path to distinguish services within the same domain. Note that the URL path option is only available for HTTP and not for TLS web-based services. Continuing with our example, you would specify as URL paths:

* agenda
* share

All subpaths are naturally included in the definition. You may also use the star pattern to substitute for zero or more characters in the URL path.

| Domain            | URL path | Matches                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| ----------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `www.example.com` | agenda   | <ul><li><code>[www.example.com/agenda/mycal.php](http://www.example.com/agenda/mycal.php)</code></li></ul>                                                                                                                |
|                   | share    | <ul><li><code>[www.example.com/share/myshare.html](http://www.example.com/share/myshare.html)</code></li><li><code>[www.example.com/share/groupshare.html](http://www.example.com/share/groupshare.html)</code></li></ul> |
|                   | sh\*     | <ul><li><code>[www.example.com/share/myshare.html](http://www.example.com/share/myshare.html)</code></li><li><code>[www.example.com/sharing/index.html](http://www.example.com/sharing/index.html)</code></li></ul>       |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.nexthink.com/platform/user-guide/using-finder-classic/monitoring-it-services-classic/specifying-url-paths-of-web-based-services-classic.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
