Hi All,

Does anyone know if somehow it is possible to receive RSS feeds into the monitoring?

RSS into monitoring? How it may look like? You provide URL for request, HostMonitor gets XML file with a lot of data. What's next? What HostMonitor should do with all that data?

"RSS into monitoring? How it may look like?"

Well good question. Basically we have 3 vendors who supply us with a SaaS application and they have a status page. We are looking into ways to put these status pages into hostmonitor. But sofar those pages support RSS but nothing else really. So this are some of these pages:
https://status.topdesk.com
https://status.fortiedge.forticloud.com

Maybe you have some idea, and if not then at least we tried

https://status.topdesk.com
https://status.fortiedge.forticloud.com

That's not RSS. That's "regular" web pages with a lot of junk data, styles, scripts, and so on

I disagree, you can subscribe to updates and then you can choose RSS. But its clear we need to find other ways to monitor this. Thank you anyway
