interacting with a modern browser for monitoring

I used to do that kind of thing about 8 years ago.  I used bash scripts and
curl to post to the servers I was watching.  There's an extension for
Firefox called LiveHTTPHeaders that does a pretty good job of capturing
what gets sent so you can replicate it.  The tricky part is processing
anything that uses javascript in the browser.

I never had to deal with any kind of JSON or REST or whatever protocols,
though...

Hi everyone,


Does anyone know how or have any experience with scripting a modern
browser and possibly interfacing that with Xymon?

I have a requirement to monitor our ERP system, and it has to be a login
to the app via a modern web browser, which means java, etc.  Is there any
way that anyone has come across for simulating those calls and replaying
them, and interfacing that with Xymon?  I’ve been trying to copy session
calls with CURL and not having much success yet.  I’ve also found Selenium
but haven’t done more than look at the front page of the site yet.  Any
info about using that would be appreciated too.


Thanks for any suggestions.
