I'm attempting to use the "IP services" monitoring feature to verify that a web server is working.
>From the OS page for the server, in the IP Services block, I've gone to the >"http" service. In it, I've set the "Send String" field to an HTTP request: Code: GET narya.net/STATUS I set the server to return a plain text message for this URL: Code: SERVER IS RUNNING So this is what I've entered for the "Expect Regex" field (of course this is just a literal string, but it should be a valid regex). I've tested this with telnet. Here's a session: Code: samwise:~> telnet 209.135.157.88 80 Trying 209.135.157.88... Connected to 209.135.157.88. Escape character is '^]'. GET narya.net/STATUS SERVER IS RUNNINGConnection closed by foreign host. samwise:~> Which appears correct to me (there's no newline after the text, which is why the "Connection closed" message runs into it). However Zenoss reports a TIMEOUT event when waiting for this URL. What am I doing wrong? Also, is there a way to verify the results through Zenoss (a way to force it to poll the server right away) so I can test this more effciently? (I have been just waiting for my 10 minute cycle time to come around, which is inefficient fo testing).
