We use webinject here for precisely this reason, and it works well. It also supports MRTG format output if you need that. I had also written a homegrown plugin that parses the web page to pull out session IDs from URLs and do a bit more magic, but the latest webinject seems to do everything itself now.

No cookies in check_http, I'm afraid. It would be a nightmare enhance it to hold sessions.If you are good with perl, look at WWW::Mechanize. This allows you to store cookies and interact with a website as if you were a browser.

[Nagios-users] check_http can't follow redirect properly, no cookies!
Hi, I've got check_http doing a login which works fine and I'm using the --onredirect=follow to make sure I can fetch the secured page it's redirected to. The problem is that when the page is fetched it is fetched without the previously supplied credentials and therefore I get a login page instead of the page within the secure area. I really really need to get the page in the secure area. Does anybody know how to make it store and use the credentials for the redirect. It's obviously not using it's cookie and I've looked through the --help but it makes not mention of cookies... Thanks for any help in advance. Hari - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
