I have a web app that requires deeper monitoring than just a ping checking for a non-200 response.
I need to submit a post with an XML doc and special HTTP header, and then check the response with a regular expression.
Is this possible???
The HTML/ASP monitor provides the ability to search for specific text in the returned HTML. However, if you need to send a specific XML doc with special HTTP header, your best bet is to write a script and use the External Process Monitor.
We have a webserver that has multiple we sites attached to it, and each site has a uniquie IP address. However, when we attempt to add each website as a node in Orion, it pulls the "server" name, instead of the specific site we are trying to monitor.
My main issue with this is that Orion is monitoring the actual server, and the IIS services, but I dont see how to create the HTTP monitor for each website, since I cannot "create" a node for that website.
do you have any suggestions on how to get around this, so that I can monitor each website instead of the server/serivce?
Nevermind. I took a closer look at the monitor, and I can manipulate this for what we need. Thanks for the tip.
