I'm just trying to cover the bases by asking the mon list.
We have several Drupal web sites. They require that cron.php be accessed
from the web site periodically to trigger the processing of events. So,
I just added that into my mon configuration using
service biology_drupal
description poke the drupal cron.php updater for Biology
exclude_hosts snapper pilot marlin
interval 60m
randskew 6m
monitor http.monitor -u "/biology/cron.php"
depend SELF:http
period wd {Sun-Sat}
alert mail.alert n...@example.com
upalert mail.alert -S "Biology Drupal pokes alright now
(oeb/cron.php)" n...@example.com
alertevery 45m
I know mon is doing it. There have been times when I've received alerts
from mon relating to this service. Also, when I look at the Apache
access_log, I see the lines that indicate that the server running mon
has issued a "get" for /biology/cron.php.
172.30.52.128 - - [10/Nov/2009:07:52:31 -0500] "GET /biology/cron.php
HTTP/1.0" 200 -
However, the web guys say it isn't happening. They are speaking from the
Drupal admin perspective, and say that the Drupal reports indicate no
such calls. When they do it by hand from a normal web browser, they see it.
71.192.210.47 - - [10/Nov/2009:07:18:58 -0500] "GET /biology/cron.php
HTTP/1.1" 200 -
So, can there possibly be anything different about the http.monitor,
wget, and a normal web browser in the way they access this page? I do
note that my get was HTTP/1.0 and theirs was 1.1. However, one of the
other web guys showed up as 1.0 as well, and I can't really see that
making a difference.
