Hello,

I have cacti 0.8.6h installed on my Linux (RH) box.
Can you please tell me how to monitor several URLs of others websites on cacti (I have Thold2.x module installed to)

I also don't knowhow to script it.

Thank you,

neo

Monitor serveral urls

What do you mean? What do you want to monitor?

You probably will have to write a script, or get a snmp agent working on the hosts you would like to monitor.

Well I want to monitor the up/down of a specific URL (accessible or not), we can imagine to analyse de return code or something like that.
I know how to script (shell) but I don't know how to implement it into cacti.
Is there a tuto concerning the script implementation into cacti ?

There's a webserver response time script around. This will give you the response time for a URL and will report NaN if webserver is down.
For more sophisticated fetaures, I'd like to point you to the Advanced Ping Template and ask you to extend this one by new protocol http and perhaps a fourth parameter for the url to be tested ...
Or throw a look at smokeping (on Tobi Oetiker website) and the CURL probes ...
