XMPP test?

Post by rasqual »

We'd like to monitor the integrity of our Wildfire service.

That's true in general, but it's especially true because we're having problems with it and we can't identify the moment of failure by data in the logs. A frequent ping of the service would help us nail that down and correlate the log data with the failure.

I don't know how to do this though:

We're also having a hard time getting alerts by jabber working, but that's a separate issue.

I think, you may use TCP test method for such purposes. http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... ts.htm#tcp

If you have problems with "Send message to jabber" action, please, use "Problems and Bugs" branch of the forum. Actually, I think to make it work you have to specify full JID of the recipient, like: username@server, not just username.

Alas, no. Packet payload alone doesn't work as an XMPP stanza.

I note some other monitoring systems have XMPP, so I reckon Hostmon will eventually have it too. ;-)

Ok, there is command line utility www.ks-soft.net/download/xmppcheck.zip that can be used for ShellScript test method http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... m#chkShell
