Hi!

First of all - great product!! I have worked with several other great products but this ...! Great!!!

One thing. Is it possible to make a RBL check? I want to make an alarm definition that checks if our domain is banded on the RBL lists.

Thanks in advance!!

I am not sure what is RBL list. Realtime Black List? What protocol is used to work with this list?

Looks like you don't need special test.
If you want to check some IP (as I understand IP listed in balck lists will appear in "Result" column), you may use HTTP test method.
Use HTTP request such as "http://rbls.org/?q=127.0.0.5" and check result contents for "<td>127.0.0.5</td>" (of course use IP address that you need instead of 127.0.0.5).

Yeah..... I know..... but!

Contents check is a true/false value. If I use the rbls.org it returns a number of the requested IP address. As a minimum 2 (for the headline and a subtitle) Then the contents check allways will return true.

Is it possible to return the number of times the "contents" is used on the page - or maybe set the alarm on "number of contents > x" ?

Please, check my previous post. I suggested check for "<td>127.0.0.5</td>", this string appears only if IP address is in black list.

Or if you use www.ordb.org, which is on the list, it's very to get to work...

Okay, Alex

I get the picture - but you must admid - It would be nice to be able to count the number of "content" on a page...

The main thing for me is to be able to check for the existence of the IP number on the list - and this I can do by checking for "<td>127......".

Thanks!

Another useful site for this is DNSSTUFF. For example (this is an
IP that IS blacklisted):

http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ip4r.ch?ip=211.158.13.154

The nice thing about this site is that it checks multiple RBLs.

The test should be set up under Advanced to verify that the
return string DOES NOT CONTAIN:

"innerHTML += 'LISTED"

I've checked the "Case sensitive' box but I'm not sure that's
really necessary.

Also, because this check can take a while to complete, I've set my
timeout on this test to 45 seconds.

Finally, be kind to the remote site - a test interval of once a day should be sufficient.
