I was looking at the above plugin as I am in need of a check for a sharepoint server that uses NTLM and can do a search for a string search on a page and can also inform on load times.
The reason for this is that we have some folks that reported a sharepoint 2013 site was down... nagios detected that the port was open (tcp check) but when authenticating the page was blank.

I've read on the forums that some folks have had issues trying to get this to work but no resolve on them not sure if they were able to or not and I am also not familiar with trying to get the perl module WWW::Curl::Easy installed.

Is this a good plugin to start with to see if this works or is there an alternative I should be looking at? If this is the plugin to use I would appreciate some help getting the perl module installed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We don't run sharepoint here, so I'm unable to test, however..

Try installing the module like this:
Inside that shell, try this command:
Let me know if this works.

[~]# perl -MCPAN -e shell

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.9402)
Enter 'h' for help.

cpan[1]> i /WWW-Curl/
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.20)

Try these steps:
Let me know if that works better.

Awesome. That worked! Thank you!

Great , does that mean the plugin is working?

I'm running this....
./check_sharepoint.pl -H server.sharepoint.com/sites/pe/SitePages/Home.aspx -s <some string> -u <someuser> -p <somepassword> -w 4 -c 5 -t 20
OK: 'https://server.sharepoint.com/sites/pe/ ... /Home.aspx' polled in 2.01091 seconds|'Response Time'=2.01091s;;;0


Seems like the string search isn't working.

Can you show us what your <some string> part actually is? If there are any special characters, it could be not parsing properly.

The command above works. Tested this on 3 servers without issue.
On a fourth server not sure why I am getting this error when attempting to install via cpan
