web interface to read CSS service status

wraila — Mon, 04 Mar 2002 20:31:37 GMT

I'd like to write a web page to read the service summary. I'm using Content Switch SW Version 5.00. It looks like the xml interace can write but not read. Is there any method to read the CSS service status from an active server page?

Why not use a snmp query? It's easier and more standard.

Yes. This URL will help configure SNMP:

Also, if you are running SNMP on your CSS you should be mindful of the vulnerability documented in bug CSCdw64236. This is fixed in 5.0 build 37s downloadable from the below URL:

The simple reason I want to do this with a web page is that I have a web enabled phone that helps me with system support. The web pages I write help indicate the status of various services and I read these wherever and whenever. From your suggestion, I guess I could find an snmp object that runs under ASP and use it to get the information I want. I haven't done this before but I'll give it a shot.
