Re: Using Proxy for HTTP Health Check

[Graham Smith]

Perhaps an alternative method might be easier of using a brief shell script called from monit using lynx or curl which could use the proxy from environment variable or passed as a switch. curl can use the -x or --proxy switch for example.

Hope that helps

Long story short, we need to use a proxy to fire off a request to check if a service is up and running. SO I am attempting to recreate what I would do if I manually telneted to the proxy:

check host APS-Public with address something.somewhere.com

  group APS

  if failed host proxy.nordstrom.net port 8181

    send "CONNECT something.somewhere.com:80 \n"

    expect ".*Connection established.*"

    send "GET /health HTTP/1.0 \n"

    expect ".*{\s*status\s*:\s*UP\s*.*"

  then alert

I end up getting these errors in the log:

GENERIC: successfully sent: 'CONNECT something.somewhere.com:80'

Socket test failed for [10.12.146.20]:8181 -- GENERIC: error receiving data -- Resource temporarily unavailable

But the proxy is up and running… I am assuming I am doing something stupid with my send statement. Any insight?

Thanks,

Matt
