NimbostratusMonitoring Tomcat app
Hi,
In our production environment we have been running tomcat applications. When I had a look at the health monitors we are using I saw that we are looking at the tomcat manager page to see if the tomcat is alive.
Actually our app is running unser http:server:8080/app/test.jsp
I want to add a health monitor to monitor the app than the tomcat itself.
In the configuration of health monitor, I am using as send string:
/wsserhs/Retailer.jsp
Do I need to add anything to Receive string? Will this suiffice?
Thank you.

At a minimum, I'd suggest looking for a 200 response (something like "HTTP 1\.(0|1) 200") Ideally, you'd check for a string which only appears within the HTTP response payload on successful responses.

Good suggestion Hoolio. If I recall, leaving the "Receive String" blank causes the monitor to pass given any response...even a 500/404? - hooliodupe
- hoolioWithout a receive string, bigd will consider any TCP data whatsoever in the response as a success:
