Automate URL Monitoring

rohit.roorkee

Query:

I am looking at options to automate URL monitoring, We need to
1) ability to schedule the job to run every X minutes and send alert when unexpected result (system down) via emails;
2) run on demand after a restart/reboot to make sure all environments are operational. Do you think Sahi is a good candidate?

Please let me know if this is possible using SAHI or not?

Please respond ASAP, I am in urgent need of it.

Hi Rohit,

If you are just looking to check the health of the system by just pinging a url, Sahi would be an overkill. Sahi is for functional testing. What you need can be achieved in a lot of other ways. If I were you, I would use wget and mail in a shell script, and add it to crontab.

If you had posted this in the right place, we both would have saved a lot of time! I just had to answer your question at 3 different places.

Narayan thanks for the reply.

So sorry Narayan, for posting it at 3 different location.

As I am already using SAHI for my functional and the navigational flow of application, I just wanted to know, Is it possible to run a job using SAHi after every 30minutes & integrate the same with Email.

This want to know, Hope you got my point.

Regards,
-Rohit.

Well, in that case, yes it is possible. In fact you have a ready made solution available, but not documented, in Sahi.
Have a look at sahi/bin/scheduler.bat and sahi/bin/scheduler.properties

You will need mail.jar and activation.jar. Drop it into sahi/extlib/mail folder. (Create one if not present.)

Play around a bit and let me know if you have queries.

Narayan
