Your first probe

This guide walks you through creating a bundle, adding an HTTP probe, and sending your first request.

Bundles view with New Bundle button

Navigate to Bundles in the left menu and click New Bundle, enter a name, and confirm. Bundles are the containers for probes.

Add probe dialog with HTTP selected

With your bundle selected, click Add Probe and choose HTTP. A new probe opens in the editor.

HTTP probe editor

Fill in the target URL and select the HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.). You can also add:

  • Headers — custom request headers
  • Query parameters — appended to the URL
  • Request body — for POST/PUT/PATCH requests
  • Cookies

Click Send. VirtuProbe connects to the target and displays the response:

Every send is recorded. Open the History panel at the bottom of the probe to browse previous responses.
