Hi,

I am integrating our application with few web sites. The requirement i have is to check for few services before i invoke my service. For example, if i have to invoke a service in 1800flowers website, nagios has to make use of http://ww11.1800flowers.com/signin.do and then supply the credentials for email and password. Then the authentication has to happen. here the catch is that the HTTP method is get.

How do i do this in nagios ?

Or at least is that possible to check for a form based POST authentication in nagios ?

I am stuck to a stall.. Please help.

Thanks
Venu

For anyone else: apparently the solution was posted here already...

Hi Unspawn,

FYI, it was me who asked the question in nagios mailing lists. The mail chain continues without any solution in my hand. Perhaps the reason is that i am new to such complicated configuration and Perl like syntax.. Could you please help me out ?

Thanks
Venu

Help out with what exactly? Please be specific and verbose.

Can I do a check on a particular website by supplying the username and password to nagios check_http commandline ?



To be clear :



Assume that I want to check whether login action happens properly on my website which is www.venu.com. And the login page name is www.venu.com/signup.do and it would post the form data to singnupaction.do. How will i check this in nagios ?

this action would also involve few redirects and then would give out the landing page.

If it had been GET method, I would have done that. But in my case, it is POST method.

Hope this is clear.

I understand you would like to solve your problem, but what good does it if you already received help in news://network.nagios.user, read all the way down to http://article.gmane.org/gmane.netwo...ios.user/59186, then abandon all the help provided there and just ask your question here again? While I have not tried that particular solution it seems plausible enough to work. Did you actually try it? From the commandline? What did it return? And in verbose mode?
