-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks, Read the docs and it's not clear to me -- is there a way to specify that http should be down?

Would I have to instead use the ports test (undesirable here -- load balanced host and nothing to run an agent on). Thanks for your help in advance.

I haven't tried it for http, but since !telnet works to test that telnet is NOT up, I would think it would work for http as well. For https, you have to give it a url anyway, so include the port in the urls and put an ! in front of the one you want to be down. Right? Steve

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Tried it out. Does not work that way. I guess the best I might be able to do so far is testing for port 80/443 not to be active. Interestingly enough, !http://URL/ is red if down, meaning it seems to just ignore the !.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Since I see Henrik is around and answered somewhat of a similar question as pertained to the logs test (welcome back? or is surgery still in the future?), I hope that you might also weigh in on this one. From my read of the docs, I might be out of luck (or have the option of using the "ports" test to make sure http is not available, but I believe that is a local test not a network test, yes?).

You cannot do something like
10.0.0.1 hostA # !http
which would have been the obvious way of doing it, because "http"
expects a URL.
Instead, add a new test to the protocols.cfg file. E.g.
[web]
port 80
send "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n"
expect "200"
then you can put
10.0.0.1 hostA # !web
in your hosts.cfg file.
Regards,
Henrik
