How to Validate Web Scenario steps

[Yello]

Hi,
When we want to validate an agent item we can use zabbix_get to test the functionality and the response. How can this be done for web scenarios?

I have some one step scenarios that I know are failing because they finish too quickly. But I don't know why. When i test them using curl at the command-line they work. When I test them via another tool, they work. They only fail in zabbix.

The characteristics of these tests are:

- very long urls
- XML response
- Check for a validation string

I am storing the urls in the macros field of the httptest table so the url length shouldn't be an issue.

What I want to be able to do is see what the httppoller sees when the test returns so quickly. Is there a way that I can do this?

Any comments?

I would like to know how to see the returns too...

[Yello]

To be explicit...run the http poller from the command-line. Some feedback from the knowledgeable members of the forum would be really appreciated.

Did you ever get an answer to this??

The http poller can only process urls up to a certain length. My url's were way too long and were being truncated.

There's a request in to raise this I believe but I don't have the number to hand.

Thanks David. Do you know if the "Required string" field in web scenarios can handle regular expressions. I want anything but "Not Found" to pass but if the page has "Not Found" in it, it should fail. So the reg. exp. would be something like "/^(Not Found)/gi". Any ideas on how I might do that?

IMHO, there should be clear warning that URL length is limited in GUI...

It's a straight string match.
