Soap or API requests

[emartine]

Does Nagios XI have the ability to do soap/api/web etc. requests to pull information from another monitoring source?

check_http can be used to make web requests including soap requests.

There are also json plugins:

Thank you for that I have a list of iis app pools that I am being asked to monitor and I can't install a ps or vb script on the server to monitor it. Would this be the best alternate method for it? Is there any way to monitor them all on one command? or will it be necessary to create a single check for each?

If you're looking to see if a web service is up or down then the check_http plugin is the way to go. One check would need to be configured for each service. Clustering is an option(https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... sters.html) if want to monitor the services as a collective entity.
