I'm afraid not. If I start my session with the URL of the status page, it redirects me to the front auth page. But once I authenticate it takes me to the generic start page. Not my status page.

I realize xymon has auth capabilities built into the http content test. But that doesn't seem to work in my environment. Once I log into the front page, I need to navigate to a second page..which is where my status is displayed.

Is there any way to grab http content tests from that second page?

Thanks

If it's "remembering" the authentication via cookies, something like this would probably work:

#!/bin/bash CURLOPTS="-b cookies -c cookies -s -S -L -m 30" curl $CURLOPTS -o authpage.html http://cisco-thing.domain.com curl $CURLOPTS -o statuspage.html http://cisco-thing.domain.com/statuspage.html

then you extract whatever you need from the status page to test it for "correctness" and send the result to Xymon:

$BB $BBDISP "status cisco-thing,domain,com.status $COLOR date $MESSAGE"

The COLOR & MESSAGE variables would be constructed during the check for "correctness".
