Hello,
The company I work for uses several cloud based services. I have setup HTTPS monitors which point at the status pages of these services. The monitor does a search string for a status, ie. "Fully Operational". If that search string is not found this application monitor goes to a down status and alerts are then generated.
The problem I have run across is one of our services has several items they offer their customers. We don't subscribe to all of their services. If one of their services is having an issue the "Fully Functional" string no longer appears on the webpage causing an alert to be sent out. We don't necessarily want to be alerted on a component we don't use or pay for being down on the vendors side. We only want to be alerted when specific pieces go from a green status to a yellow or red, but of course Orion is color blind.
Pressing F12 to view the code on the status page shows all the components they offer along with the status color for each. Is there a way to monitor for those specific components and look for them to be "green" or "operational"?
Example:
<span class="name">
Vendor Website
</span><span class="component-status">
Operational
</span>
