Help my to develop Http-get plugin

Post by DimmON »

It is necessary for me to develop the Http-get plugin which will do simple requests to web-pages.
I have written a PERL script which returns 1 if web-page response "200 OK" and returns 0 if web-page have another response or does not response yet.

How can I explain cacti how to work with this script and to draw the graphs?

Curl would be one of the ways to go on this. I guess the URL magic in newer PHP could do this quite well to.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?
