check_http with jSession ID

Hi,

I use the standard check_http plugin to monitor individual webservers, i execute the check at 5 min intervals.

My problem is i have a session timeout of 30mins on the servers, this means that the check_http checks create 6 'fake' sessions on my servers. This is not a major problem functionally, however it does create some missleading reports on usage.... 6fake sessions per server 10+ servers.

Does anyone know if there is a extended plugin that, checks_http, stores the returned jSessionID, and then uses that. Or if there is a comprehensive plugin that I could extend to get this functionality.

I would like to execute the http checks every min so that would be 30fake session.

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
mitchell

I can't say I know of one explicitly... there's a number of them here: http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... ansactions maybe one of them will do what you need, unfortunately that's as helpful as I can be.
