Monitor HTML Table from an internal site

eem4osg

I am in need of a SAM Template for monitoring a HTTP (NON-HTTPS) Site, that is hosted internal. The site is used for the Production floor team to monitor jobs. What I am needing is to check the table for Down items and create a Down event.

The table looks to javascript, I tried using the HTTP Monitor and do a text search, but it looks like the code\HTML has down in it, so no go.

instead of using a https component monitor, do a powershell script that scrapes the page. If this sits in javascript you will want to use some kind of module/snap-in that allows for it to be read. You could use something like this example script. It will return the html of the page. From there you can do whatever you need in powershell to count the number of appearances of a string match or regex match. You can easily have grok or gpt do the heavy lifting and build the script, like I built one quick like below, but it counts solarwinds appears on a solarwinds doc page

# Import the module (if not already loaded—PSParseHTML or your custom module)
#Install-Module -Name PSParseHTML -AllowClobber -Force   # Skip if built-in

# Define the internal HTTP site URL
$Url = "https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/content/core-multi-module-system-guidelines.htm?kbloader=MT55074"  # Your site’s URL

# Fetch and parse the page content
try {
    $ParsedHTMLResponse = ConvertFrom-HTML -URL $Url -Engine AngleSharp 
    $Content = $ParsedHTMLResponse.OuterHtml  # Full HTML as a string
}
catch {
    Write-Host "Message: Failed to connect - $_"
    Write-Host "Statistic: -1"
    #Exit 1  # Sets component to down (script not working)
}

$Matches = [regex]::Matches($Content, "(?i)solarwinds")  # Case-insensitive
$MatchCount = $Matches.Count

# Output for SAM
if ($MatchCount -gt 0) {
    Write-Host "Message: Found $MatchCount instances of 'solarwinds' in the page content"
    Write-Host "Statistic: $MatchCount"  # Number of matches
    #Exit 0  # Up status 
} else {
    Write-Host "Message: No 'solarwinds' found in the page content"
    Write-Host "Statistic: 0"  # No matches
    #Exit 0  # Up status 
}
