Website monitoring? 🔗 link

Hi,


We’re setting up monitoring in xymon for our websites, most are working
great but I have a few issues.  Our hosts.cfg lines look like this:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx                site.name.com                  # https://
site.name.com             NK:http

We’re trying not to touch the sites by adding bbd files.  In one case we
have what I believe is a non-standard redirection resulting in an orange !
in the http column and this info on the http page for that site:

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently

Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

Location: https://fngvob.foxinc.com/VOB_PD/

Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5

X-Powered-By: ASP.NET

Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2016 00:10:15 GMT

Connection: close

Content-Length: 156


Seconds: 0.349426000

The second case is, there’s a firewall rule that prevents us from pinging
an outside site as a result for that site we have a red face in the conn
column and when I click it I see:

Service conn on fox.okta.com is not OK : Host does not respond to ping


System unreachable for 132 poll periods (8135 seconds)

We would like to continue monitoring these sites because the info that is
available is extremely valuable but would like to make the alerts go away
without touching the sites or the firewall.  Does anybody have any
suggestions on how this might be done?


Thanks,

You can correct the HTTP URL and disable the ping test?

Thanks for the quick response Josh,

I guess I don’t quite understand what you mean by “correct the HTTP URL” and is there a way to disable the ping test for one site only?  I was playing with the noping parm but it didn’t seem to change anything.
