Thanks Venu -----Original Message----- From: peter.ri...@web.de [mailto:peter.ri...@web.de] Sent: Sunday, January 25, 2009 4:02 AM To: Venugopal S Cc: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Using nagios check_httpfor webbasedauthentication Hi Venu, do you know 'check_website'. I use it for monitoring a handful websites. It's able to follow applications even with dynamically generated URLs. As far as I remember (I dont need it) it follows redirects. It' worth a look.
