    Web monitoring and using returned data as macros for following steps

    I am trying to monitor secured webservices serviced by a web farm. Security is implemented by posting an OpenSession request and receiving a session_id string that must in turn be passed as a parameter in all subsequent requests for that session.

    I want to use the web scenarios for this work, since there are indeed several steps for some of the tests I want to do, but I need to be able to receive the session_id string returned from the open_session as a variable so that it can be used as a macro parameter for subsequent steps.

    Possible? Help!

      This funtionality is not supported currently. Good news is that it is already in our TODO list.

          OK. I appreciate your quick response. You've done a great job with this version, and I'm excited about getting 1.4 in production here.

          Can I ask if it is a 1.4.1 todo or a later one? It's a big deal here.

          FYI, my short list of stuff to do includes web services testing, SNMP testing for network devices and links, notification escalations, a global NOC-style view of the infrastructure and processes, and a lot of customized process and log testing.

          Keep up the great work!

              This functionality could be implemented either in 1.4.2 or later 1.4.x. In worst case scenario it will be part of 1.6.

              By the way, at least 60% of your short list is in roadmap of 1.6 (not published yet).

                  web logic & web sphere?

                  Alexei,

                  Greetings to you!! Can Zabbix monitor web logic, web sphere and other severs? or is it going to be implemented in future versions? I was trying to get information thru the forums..but i was not getting any conclusive information about it.

                  I need to give a presentation on Zabbix's usage as we work in Performance testing. Our job involves running tests for various applications, even network testing and stuff like that. Zabbix seems a very promising tool and in order to harness the potential of Zabbix (esp by dummies like me ) a good documentation is necessary.
