check if SAP login is possible

[Frost, Mark {PBC}]

Werner,

I can't say that I'm an expert at any of these methods, but there are a
few possibilities you might explore.

- WebInject.  It allows you to write these kind of request/response
scripts that walk through interaction with a website, including a
login.  There's even some stuff about using it directly with Nagios
on their site.

- Perl and the WWW::Mechanize module.  This allows you to do something
similar to WebInject by writing your own Perl script that interacts with
a website including "pressing" buttons, etc.  I would also recommend
Ton Voon's spiffy Nagios::Plugin module to handle the Nagios plugin
duties.

In either case, you would probably want to create some dummy/test
user to attempt the login with.

Mark

Hi everyone,

last week I had a new problem - all Nagios checks of the SAP systems
succeeded, but no one was able to login or to work inside SAP. The users
got a timeout message, but remained logged in. The usual checks via
check_sap_cons still delivered their standard output.

How can I check if a SAP login is possible or not? As a first step, I
check the https:// login screen (with check_http), but how can I check
that a user may log in after seeing that screen?

BTW, the reason was a shared filesystem full to the brim...

Regards,
Werner
