web.page.regexp and timeout

[Inc0]

Hello,

does the function "web.page.regexp" have a timeout?
I'm monitoring some .jsp and sometimes tomcat doesn't respond (leaving the page hanged up): does, in this case, web.page.regexp report a failure or not?
If there is a timeout, how can I set it up in my checks?

I forgot to say I'm using zabbix 1.8.3


Thank you

i presume you are using Zabbix agent (passive) for this item - timeout is the timeout of the zabbix agent runnig that check (3s by default I think)

Yes, in the item configuration windows, the type is set to "zabbix agent": if the timeout is 3 seconds, what value does web.page.regexp return after the timeout? EOF or something else? I'm asking this because if I check the latest data of the item that checks my .jsp on a server with a NOT responding tomcat, I don't see any value at all and this makes my trigger fail.
Example:
key: web.page.regexp[{IPADDRESS},/my.jsp,80,OK,2]
Type of information: character

Assuming mi check runs every minute, that's what I see in the latest data of the item:
2011.Mar.02 17:56:00 OK
2011.Mar.02 17:57:00 OK
---NO DATA AT ALL. At this point I restarted tomcat ---
2011.Mar.02 18:01:00 OK

Does it work as intended?


Thx

It does return EOF in case of timeout, no match, or any other failures. I updated Zabbix documentation to make it clear.

Thank you. I'll do some test to try to figure out what's happening to my zabbix.
I might come back to bug you once more
