Monitoring Web Services in Zabbix

[n8wood]

Is it possible to have Zabbix monitor web services if I provide a username/password and URL? My company is asking for SLA reports, but they're looking for more detailed information than what I'm currently monitoring in Zabbix.

If this is not something that can be done in Zabbix w/ a little scripting, can anyone suggest some software packages to look at?

thanks,

this can be done via snmp

I don't think I can do this with SNMP. I would like Zabbix to log into our web site with a username and password to make sure our customers can do the same. In doing so, Zabbix would be monitoring our web servers and database servers because both are necessary for the login to work.

It would definitely involve some scripting, but I'm not sure Zabbix 1.0 has the means of performing this.

Would this be a login screen with forms?

If so you should be able to mimic the packets to login with. If not you could simple use wget or curl with the correct syntax.

https://user:[email protected]

with php there is also a way to pass the arguments. After this you simply seach the results for a phrase that only appears on a successful login.

UserParameters are a God send and one of my favorite things with Zabbix so far. It only sounds like they'll be getting better and better.

What kind of login form is used and perhaps we can think through how you'll be able to do this.

I just started to look at Zabbix. I was wondering if this feature is available. This is exactly what we are looking for.
