WebInject Code Example

Here is an example of XML code for WebInject that will perform several basic checks on a web application node.

Note: To learn more about monitoring, be sure to read: Monitoring Your Jive Environment.

This script is designed to perform the following checks on a web application node:

request the Admin Console login page (this verifies that Apache and Tomcat are running) (case id="1")
log in to the Admin Console (this verifies that the web application node can communicate with the database server) (case id="2")
request the front-end homepage (this verifies at a high level that everything is okay) (case id="3")
request the index page (case id="4")

In addition, consider monitoring the time it takes this check to run and set an alert threshold at N seconds to ensure this check succeeds in a timely manner.
