Perl script testing website availability

I have a perl script that tests website availability, using a Windows Script Monitor in SAM. It tests for the the response time as well as the response from the server. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working as intended, as the full response from the server doesn't seem to be outputted. The response is outputted to a variable but for some reason it's not being logged in SAM. I've attached the snippet of the script, am I referencing the response incorrectly or is SAM not capable of handling this data?

Thanks,

Matt

From my understanding, SAM only supports multi-line output when you prefix the lines with message.<something>. In your script, you are adding a new line before $body. I suspect that it is ignoring that variable data because it's on a new line. Try removing the new line and see if you can see the full message. It might be helpful to us if we can also see exactly what is missing from your output data.

Hi,

Thanks for your response. This is the expected output, everything after 'does not return required minimum number of results' doesn’t get outputted.

Thanks, Matt

SAMs message variable does not honor carriage returns. You'll need to ensure there are no line breaks or carriage returns in the message returned from the script. SAM interprets all line breaks as the end of the message.
