Benny, you might also take a look at Webinject.pl It allows you to script a series of website interactions and watch for patterns in the response. There is a nagios mode and I believe you can pass credentials. \\Greg <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 7, 2010 at 7:12 PM, C.

I decided to take the requirements a little more literally, and build a test that checks to see if their IIS web sites are up and running or if they're stopped/paused/whatever. So, here it is: <a href="http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Web-Servers/IIS/check_iis_site/details" target="_blank">http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Web-Servers/IIS/check_iis_site/details</a> It's a VBscript that I run via NSClient's NRPE handler, and it checks the status of any IIS web site I tell it to. Released under BSD license, maybe someone else will find it useful. :) <div> Benny -- "It's not all about getting up and putting four slices of kickass in a two slice toaster." -- ark86, on Fazed.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ </div> <div> <div></div> <div>This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers <a href="http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev" target="_blank">http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev</a> _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list <a href="mailto:Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net" target="_blank">Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</a> <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users" target="_blank">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users</a> ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null </div></div></blockquote></div>
