Hi Mark,

Take a look at check_http I think that will do exactly what you want out off the box.

Here is an example off some stuff I do.

./check_http -H someurl.com --authorization=username:password
--url=/wiki/index.php/Main_Page --string='Welcome to' -w 5 -c 7

This connects to someurl.com provides login via the authorisation strings. Content checks against the --url for the string "Welcome to" warns if response is slower than 5 seconds, Goes critical if response is slower than 7 seconds.

Take a look at all the switches in check_http by issuing a ./check_http
--help

Regards

Tom

Hi everyone,

I need a bit of help.

I am in the process of evaluating Nagios as a replacement for the very expensive Sitescope system from Mercury Interactive and am enjoying the challenge.

I have a small question about check_http or something similar.

Basically I have a website that I want to check and depending on a phrase found on the website, alert accordingly.

The website requires a password to be passed in via a POST command.

I.e. www.example.com

POST <password>

Look for "Error"

If "Error" detected then alert, if "OK" found then show OK.

Is this possible and how?

Thanks!

Mark
