Here is what I did, it may be a bit convoluted
This script in EXT ############################# #!/bin/bash
export {http,https,ftp}_proxy="myproxyurlhere"
myproxy=env | grep -i proxy
echo "proxy settings are $myproxy"
HOSTTAG=URLTEST # What we put in hosts.cfg to trigger this test COLUMN=$HOSTTAG # Name of the column, often same as tag in hosts.cfg
XYMONHOME=/opt/BB/bbsw/server XYMON=/opt/BB/bbsw/server/bin/xymon XYMSRV=10.111.9.5 SED=/bin/sed
$XYMONHOME/bin/xymongrep $HOSTTAG | while read L do set $L # To get one line of output from xymongrep
HOSTIP="$1"
MACHINEDOTS="$2"
MACHINE=`echo $2 | $SED -e's/\./,/g'`echo "$MACHINE will do $HOSTTAG"
urlfile="/opt/BB/bbsw/server/ext/URL/$MACHINE.bb-checkweb"
URL=cat $urlfile
UP="HTTP/1.1 200 OK" UP2="HTTP/1.1 200 Connection established"
status="$(curl -Is $URL | head -1)" status=$(echo $status|tr -d '\r')
if [[ "$status" == "$UP" || "$status" == "$UP2" ]] ; then COLOR=green MSG="$URL returned $status, so is up"
$XYMON $XYMSRV "status $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR date
${MSG}
"
echo "$URL is up"
else
COLOR=red
MSG="$URL returned $status, so is down"
$XYMON $XYMSRV "status $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR date
${MSG}
"
echo "$URL is down"
fi
done
########################
In EXT/URL I have a bunch of txt files, with the name of the host as it appears in xymon hosts file, and each contains the url I wish to check. A bit more work could make this better
In hosts.cfg, I have the tag URLTEST after the host to tell it to test a url
In tasks.cfg, I have
[checkurl] ENVFILE $XYMONHOME/etc/xymonserver.cfg NEEDS xymond CMD $BBHOME/ext/URLtest.sh LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/checkurl.log INTERVAL 5m
Now I am certain that this is a very long way for a shortcut, but it definitely works for me

Hello all,
I somehow created 2 new columns in the dashboard while I was trying to fix a http monitor. I've removed my changes and the columns still show up. How do you remove them from the dashboard?
My second issue is I'm wanting to monitor a URL and am only wanting to know if its alive. Since it requires authentication I'm getting HTTP status 401 error. How can I only monitor if it's up or down? Here is the last thing I've tried:
Thanks! Cory
