A web interface would be great. I just don't need all this other stuff in there. I've actually half-started writing one in perl, but again, I'd love something that's already established and I hate reinventing wheels. My program would use (for now) a super easy flatfile for configuration (url:string to search for/null for a straight test) and would output an HTML file and send emails for alerts. But I'm not 100% sure I can make it 100% (or 99%, or 95%...) reliable. We used to use SiteScope at a previous job, which /does/ have other info through plugins/agents but works really well as a web services monitor. Sadly it seems to no longer exist (or HP bought it and turned it into some monstrosity). I might end up recommending Zenoss after all, though, if it ends up being simpler than me writing my own tool.

If it'll take longer to download/set up/learn to configure/mess with configuration than it will for me to write something simple, I'll just go write it! But I'd love something that's aleady tried and tested. >> >> On Mon, 22 Sep 2014, Ryan Coleman wrote: >> >>> I’m using Zenoss but I just started and haven’t really done much to set it up. >>> >>> >>> On Sep 22, 2014, at 20:01, tclug at freakzilla.com wrote: >>> >>>> (Resending form correct account, sorry admins) >>>> >>>> Ok, before I go write one myself, does anyone know of a simple website uptime monitoring tool? Yeah, I can use Nagios but that's waaayyy overdone and waaaaayyy overcomplicated. >>>> >>>> All I need is something I can give a list of websites (or URLs), have it do an HTTP connection to, possibly look for a string in the resulting webpage and let me know "Hey that worked" or "Hey I got a HTTP/200 but that string wasn't there" or "Hey it won't even talk on port 80". Be nice if it can represent the output as HTML and allow to setup some email alerts, but producing a nice processable text result would be enough. >>>> >>>> Anyone? >>>> >>>> -- >>>> _______________________________________________ >>>> TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota >>>> tclug-list at mn-linux.org >>>> http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota >>> tclug-list at mn-linux.org >>> http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list >> _______________________________________________ >> TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota >> tclug-list at mn-linux.org >> http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list > > _______________________________________________ > TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > tclug-list at mn-linux.org > http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list >
