web applications monitoring with nagios

Post by Aviva »

Hello,

we monitor with nagios a lot of services, a lot of checkcommands are our scripts, and everything is working fluently, but we would like to go
to higher level then just monitor infrastructure elements - we would like to measure application response (applications via web).
What we would like to do?
Login to the application (sometimes this is simple html app, sometimes this is more complex), click this and this, measure time between windows,
click somewhere else etc.
Is there any solution, that might be integrated with Nagios and do this? (I don't want to write very own scripts to do everything like this)

regards,

Mariusz

The methods that I know of for doing this are:
- WebInject ->http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... ect/details
- Selenium -> this will write code for you, but you'll have to turn it into a nagios check.
- Windows AutoIT -> requires your own scripting
