I am trying to come up with some ways how to monitor a web page that lists statuses of processes.
Here is an example:
| Process | Status | Last Update |
|---|---|---|
Process #1 | Completed | 2014-04-14 08:00:00 |
| Process #2 | FAILED | 2014-04-01 08:00:00 |
There are many more processes listed on the page. We were originally thinking about doing a WPM, but with their being multiple processes, there would be no way to key into each process's status. I was hoping there was a way to use the SAM HTTP check to do a regex to pull "Process #1" and it's status and last updated time, but regex on HTTP monitor isn't available in SAM yet. Is the only option right now to write my own custom template/powershell script to do this?
The other option would be to write queries to query the backend database that populates this website. Is there a SAM template to read in data and if it doesn't match throw an alert?
