Enhancing Probes for SharePoint 2016 on Prem

Hello

I have some questions about enhancing SharePoint Probes:

  • Doing Curl with the IP-Adress ends with an Code 200 but with an Error

<head><meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft SharePoint" /><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0" /><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8"/><meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOHTMLINDEX" /><title>

       Error

</title><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/_layouts/15/1033/styles/corev15.css?rev=f4ES4o33Y5B6OSnm1GOXLA%3D%3DTAG0"/><head><meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft SharePoint" /><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0" /><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8"/><meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOHTMLINDEX" /><title>

       Error

  • There ist the possibility to grep the returnparameter "SharePointError: 0" or "X-SharePointHealthScore: 0" how does the probe have to look like.

Do you Need to install an agent in the SharePoint Server?

 

Thank you very much for your answer

    you might want to run curl with the -v parameter so you can also see the headers.

     

    the SharePoint Error header can be easily used in a regular HTTP or HTTPS health monitor

    Hi Boneyard

    Thank you for your answer.

     

    1. Why are "Errors" shown? Hast it to do with the webpage?
    2. I would like to test the curl myself. I tried all the variants none of them worked

    Do you have a hint.

     

    Regards

     

    J.

      the error is probably shown because you have to request the correct website url and perhaps provide the hostname

      curl -v -k -H "Host: <hostname>" http(s)://x.x.x.x/

      would be a good start, try it and share the output with removing / changing any sensitive (company name, public IPs) output
