css keepalive script to check ssl and http web page.

[MARK BAKER]

I am looking for a way to monitor the health of servers by checking https as well as the existance a a web page on the server. I have been able to set up my CSS to check one or the other but have not been able to do both.

Does anyone know of a way to do this?

HI,

you have to write down a script as described in http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/hw/contnetw/ps789/products_tech_note09186a00801e1773.shtml

think about when you want to signal an error. Do a open socket to port 80 (webpage) check if this is properly working afterwards open a socket to port 443 (https). Be sure that you close the socket. The error signaling can be done by error with a corresponding error-mesage written to the "screen"

Hope that helped.

Kind Regards,

Joerg
