Service Unavailable 503
list Rod
Hi, I typically use my xymon server to test if URLs are up and serving pages and external scripts. I do not have any xymon clients. There is one URL that I test by adding this to the hosts.cfg file, nothing out of ordinary xxx.64.8.xx New-xxxx #xxxx-api xxxxapitest https://xxx-xxxxx.xxxxx.org NOCOLUMNS:info,trends,clientlog,ports,procs,files,inode,conn This site, every now and then, will have issues and customers will get 'Service Unavailable' 503 error. What happens is that after 5 minutes, I will get the white circle but apache is still up and running. I never get alerted because of the white circle. Is xymon able to alert on 'Service Unavailable 503' page either in the hosts.cfg or another file on the xymon server? Thanks in advance. Rod

Hi, You could try something like this instead: 0.0.0.0??? ??? www.websitemanagers.com.au??? ??? # noconn httpstatus;https://www.websitemanagers.com.au/;2.. sni The 2.. means any http status code starting with 2 (and two following characters). See the man page for hosts.cfg for the details. In my case, any non-2xx status results in a red. PS, I did think by default a 5xx status would be red, but not entirely sure why it isn't in your case. I think there is another global config option somewhere for that, but I've not used that option. Regards, Adam
