User Experience? Maybe?

So we're trying something new with a customer of ours and need some assitance setting up a monitor.  Hopefully this makes some sense

We need to verify a customers call center server is up and running.  To do this, we had an engineer write a script that is triggered by HTTP.  Basically when you go to 172.16.2.91:9080/IVRTest, it runs a script that verifies everything is up and running and returns "Success" for a webpage.  I need a way to alert if it doesn't come back correctly.  So here's what I've been running into.  I tried a normal http monitor and changed to port 9080 but that doesn't work.  I've tried a few different options but am striking out big time.  Any suggestions on what I would need to test this?  Thanks!

  • Without seeing the page that's being accessed it's a little difficult to understand the implementation. Does the HTTP monitor simply not work when accessing port 9080 or does the content check not work? Is there a post method being used your check or does it rely heavily on java script?

  • Yeah I was trying to figure out how to explain it.

    When you access the URL, it triggers a script.  If the script finishes correctly, it shows "Success" on the page, if it doesn't, you get a "page cannot be displayed". 

    I tried both a port 80 and 8090 HTTP monitor and no luck.  Not sure on the post method or java, pretty sure it just kicks off a bat which dials into the IVR and based on what it gets back it displays success.

  • What technology does the page use? Is it straight HTML, ASP, PHP, JavaScript, AJAX, Flash, Silverlight?
