Monitoring Web Service with POST request ?

Anyone have an example of monitoring a SOAP based web service with a POST request that they'd care to share?     Thanks !!

Hi Randy,

 

 

I ended up creating a simple HTTP client for my web service that returned a simple up/down text string, and set up my monitor as a standard HTTP get. I co-located the web service and the web client, just to reduce the risk of too many moving parts and a possible false failure report if the web app environment was down. It's been working well for us.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Jen
