Thanks! I don’t know if it will work with datapower, but we have ISAM appliances as well.

I wrote one that works with the REST API on ISAM appliances. I believe they’re pretty similar to the datapower appliances. There’s 2 parts to it and you’ll need to have node.js installed, as well as the jq - commandline JSON processor executable. The username and password for the appliance should go on the line immediately following the tag for this host. I found that putting the user/passwd on the same line as the host/tags made the information show up on the “info” page in xymon and I don’t think you want credentials published there.

This particular test only checks to see if any of the junctions are “red” and reports a red status if so. The entire junction tree is reported along with green/red for good/bad junctions. I didn’t write in anything for junction specificity, though that’s probably coming soon.

The first file I called isam-junctions.sh and the 2nd file I called isam-jct-parse.js

I know it’s not exactly what you’re looking for but I hope it will help you to develop one that you can use for the datapower appliances.

I’ve been asked to monitor an IBM Datapower XML gateway, and wanted to see if anyone else had a plugin to do it before I re-invented the wheel. They have a mib, so supposedly I can poll it with mrtg and feed statuses into xymon with bbmrtg.pl, but IBM claims that their web service has greater detail and information. So, if anyone has written a xymon plugin to poll a datapower webservice and come up with useful stats to display in xymon, I’d love to hear about it.
