HTTP or URL test in RMA

pmc · Post by **pmc** » Thu Apr 01, 2004 10:40 am

I would like to see the HTTP or URL test supported in future versions of RMA.

---

For my current project, I need to have various remote agents access several different web pages, capture the response time, and then log it back to Hostmon. This way I can be monitoring the responsiveness of my wide area network from different locations.

Ping is available, but a ping test is not really representative of the response time I'm getting from real life pages of significant size.

FYI, I found a workaround that I used for now. I used the Shell Script test, and then I wrote a Perl script that does the HTTP GET URL for me, from the remote machine. I posted the Perl script in the Library forum section, if anyone would like to use it.

It will be implemented in future versions.

Any idea on when this is likely to be implemented?

URL test was implemented a year ago

Thanks Alex but is there any way of specifying a proxy to use on the RMA when running the URL test.

Just start rma_cfg.exe and you will see the settings
