IPMonitor and IIS / Tomcat

Is it possible to monitor iis / tomcat linked using /jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll
Iis is on port 80, tomcat is on port 8080

We can monitor each directly, but can't setup a monitor that references a file on the tomcat via the iis server
In a web browser if we go to server:80/.../blank.html then it goes to the iis server and gets seamlessly passed through to the tomcat server. If we try the same on ipMonitor then we get a 404 error in the iis logs

Cheers, Andy

Any ideas guys?

Andy,

From the ipMonitor system, open a CMD window and type "telnet server 80"

Once connected, type the following commands, without making any errors (otherwise, you'll need to start over):

GET /LionShare/blank.html HTTP/1.0
HOST: server

Hit Enter twice.

What do you get as a response?

PS: Naturaly you'll want to replace the referrences to 'server' with the actual address of the web site.

Let me know

Hi Chris,

I get a 401 error. Is there a way of entering credentials using this method?

HTTP/1.1 401 Access Denied
Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0
Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2009 17:22:17 GMT
WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate
WWW-Authenticate: NTLM
Content-Length: 4431
Content-Type: text/html

Some more info Chris,

Enabling 'Allow anonymous access' in IIS lets me telnet and get a 200 repsonse (success)

However, doing this from IPMonitor, using no credentials and a domain account still gives me the same error whether 'Allow anonymous access' is unchecked or not.

Any more ideas?

Thanks, Andy

Chris,

Checking the 'allow anaonymous access' box in IIS allows me to telnet and get a 200 response (success)

H, trying this in IPMonitor I get the same error no matter what account I use to authenticate, and with both 'Allow anonymous access' enabled and siabled.

Andrew,

If the web site requires NTLM authentication, perform the following:

1. Within the Monitor, click the "Select" button next to "Credential for Monitoring".

2. Click the "New Credential" button.

3. Enter a name for the Credential and click "Next"

4. Select "NTLM Authentication (Windows NT Lan Manager)" and click "Next"

5. Enter the Domain name and username of the Windows account you normally use to login to the web site. Then, enter the password and confirm it.

6. Click "Next", "Finish" and then "Apply"

7. Now back at the Monitors settings page, click "Force Test".

If the Monitor still fails,

1. Within the address bar, at the very end, add the word "Debug" and press enter.

2. On the grey bar, you should now have a "Debug" button. Click it.

3. A new window should come up with a log of what was requested by ipMonitor and what was received.

Let me know what that is, as needed.

Sincerely,

Chris, where do I type "DEBUG". I've tried it in numerous locations (includung the IPMonitor URL on the monitor page) and I don't get a debug button appear anywhere in the IPMonitor gui.

If you could let me know please, cheers.
