entries in bb-services 🔗 link

Hi all,

I want to check the cupsd and tomcat with entries in the bb-services file, but it doesn't works :-(

Who can tell me how the checks works exactly?

For the cupsd I'm using the entry:

[cupsd]
   send "GET /printers\r\n"
   expect "HTTP/0.9 200 OK"
   port 631

The cupsd delivers a wrong answer. What is meant by the send string?
Is it a telnet connection or how can I check the send end expect on the shell?

The tomcat is best checked with the shell command:

wget http://localhost:8080 | grep "200 OK"

Is there a possibility to put something like that in the bb-services file?

Thanks a lot

Chris

Both of these provide web (HTTP) interfaces, so you really should be
checking them with the standard http test.

I.e. for your print server, you'd use something like

  10.0.0.1 print.foo.com # http://print.foo.com:631/printers

This puts the status in an "http" column which may seem a bit odd. 
If you want it to show up in a "cupsd" column, you'll have to make it an
http "content" check, like

  10.0.0.1 print.foo.com # cont=cupsd;http://print.foo.com:631/printers;.


For Tomcat, just use a plain http test:

  10.0.0.1 tomcat.foo.com # http://tomcat.foo.com:8080/
