WebInject code example

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

Note: For more information about monitoring, see Monitoring your Jive environment.

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

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