Looks like your proxy requires authentication via Kerberos or NTLM or GSS-Negotiate. Dunno if Xymon can do those. Luckily the curl tool (httpp://curl.haxx.se) *can* do those... I haven't had to use them, but it should not be too hard to bang out an ext script to do the check. Something along these lines:
#!/bin/sh
curl -x http://ourproxy.ourdomain.com:8080 \
--proxy-anyauth -U hobbituser:hobbitpassword \
-s -S -L -o /dev/null http://www.google.com/
if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]; then
COLOR=green
MESSAGE="Pinged Google OK"
else
COLOR=RED
MESSAGE="Failed to reach Google"
fi
$BB $BBDISP "status www,google,com.home $COLOR `date`$MESSAGE"
Obviously that can be expanded quite a lot... :) Drop it somewhere on your Xymon server (maybe in server/ext) and set up a block in server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg to fire it off as often as you want. You may need to give the full path for curl, which is probably /usr/bin/curl.

Hi all
I am trying to test our interent connectivity by checking Google through our proxy. (Once I get this right, I want to start testing some of our external web pages in the same manner)
I have configured this in bb-hosts 0.0.0.0 *www.google.com* <http://www.google.com> # noconn * http://hobbituser:hobbitpassword at ourproxy.ourdomain.com:8080/http://www.google.com *<http://hobbituser:hobbitpassword at ourproxy.ourdomain.com:8080/http://www.google.com>
And I get this. *yellow* <http://hobbit/hobbit/gifs/yellow.gif> * http://www.google.com.au/* <http://www.google.com.au/> - Proxy Authentication Required

Any assistance appreciated.
