We have a lot of URL's that we monitor.

We have had cases where multiple URL's

go down at the same time.


I'm trying to figure out a way to have a view

that would show me the machine name with

the actual URL  that is down.


So for example, I may have 4 machines each

with 4 or 5 URL's on them (4 ports 8081, 8082, 8083…)


However, perhaps port 8081 goes down on 2 machines,

and 8081 & 8083 goes down on the other two machines.


I'd like a view to do this:


machine1  http://machine1:8081   Down

                http://machine1:8083   Down


machine 2 http://machine2:1081   Down


Any hints on doing something like this?
I'm doing something like that, using scripts that are left over from
our Big Brother days.   The script sends a report for each
server/port, so I get the kind of result you might be looking for.

Dunno if you can achieve the same with Hobbit without the external
scripts.  If so, I can ditch a whole bunch of cronjobs...
