Hi, We have several applications running on apache, on different paths. (and sometimes different ports) The same apps can also be running on different servers. Example: server1/app1 server1/app2 server2/app2 server3:<portfoo>/app1 server3:/<portfoo>/app2
What I want: monitioring of the apps, so that if it times out, gets connection refused, bad request, not found etc or we get different content then we expect (regex) I want an event (and alert). graphs are not a must. Now, I tried 3 different ways and failed with all of them. I'm getting really frustrated because I can't figure it out. I tried: 1) Adding the services directly for each server under 'OS -> IP services'. problems: - the name and description seem to contiously be reset, I cannot get it to simply display the name I told it to (yes i clicked save) - I couldn't find a proper explanation about "send string" but I guess I need to put something like "GET /appname HTTP/1.0" in there. - the results seem to be random. Eg i have 3 different http checks (with different send strings) configured, and at one point they can all be green (even if I can configured one with a false send string), and then later they all turn red without reason (also the good ones) but no events are raised?? - the icons can be green on the "device view" page, but when clicking on the specific check it can be red. - When I sniff the network I don't even see http requests for the specific paths I configured - either way this doesn't seem to be the ideal approach, as I want to apply this kind of monitoring to all children of a class. 2) Classes / Services. I thought I could add services here for my specific applications (path/port combinations) but this seems inpossible as I cannot use http attributes. In fact, for some services I cannot specify ports (and for others I can??) 3) Templates. I also tried the templates way, but this only gives me graphs (well non-working graphs actually) but no events (I've read the manual about templates and realize this is probably not the way to go, but just want to mention this) Please enlighten me...
