Problem using HTTP form login monitor

hi all,

I am trying to use the HTTP form login monitor to monitor an internal page but i cannot get the monitor to see the login page. It complains with the following message:

Testing on node SERVERNAME: failed with 'NotAvailable' status

Response page does not contain any form

When i load the URL in a browser the login page comes up fine. I assume that it is because the HTML does not use the forms tag. Here is some example HTML:

<tr>
<td style="width:80"><span>username </span> </td>
<input tabindex="2" onkeydown="event_onkeydown(event)" style="width:150" id="USERNAME" type="text" value="">
</span></td>
</tr>

If someone could tell me how to set this up to look at the form then that would be brilliant as we are currently evaluating whether to use Orion or Sitescope.

Thanks!

Chris.

Hi, Chris,

Please open a support ticket and enter the Eval version of the software in the SolarWinds Application field. Someone will get back to you soon to assist you.

Chris,

Did you ever get this working? We just ran into the same thing.

Thanks!

The HTML Form Login Monitor only works for web sites that use HTML forms for the login procedure.

If the login page uses some other mechanism such as javascript code for logging in, you have to write a custom Windows script to monitor that. Is that the case with your login page, Eric?

I think we're getting hit by a double whammy. The actual login page is on an IFRAME and it uses javascript to do the authentication.

We've got another HP Product that does some monitoring that can do "traced" events. (Meaning that it can login, click here, do this, do that, etc and watch and time the whole path.) We're looking at replacement for this product.
