[wplug] Software recommendation

[Poyner, Brandon]

Chris,
 
Try looking at Nagios (formerly NetSaint).  It can run any practically
any *NIX variant.  It uses plugins to perform the service checks.  The
check_http plugin can do content string matches and much more.  The http
authentication would be up to whichever web server you choose.

	Hello all....
	 
	I was wondering if someone could recommend a good piece of Open
Source software.....currently we use an ancient copy of a product called
Sitescope (not Open Source).....basically, what this product does is do
an http GET to any web server (all of them being IIS so they need
monitored CONSTANTLY) and look for some content to be returned, usually
we just look for a specific word.  If the content returned varies from
what is expected, it will either send us an e-mail or page us if it
fails multiple times.....  However, it also offers the ability to
authenticate via NTLM and Basic authentication.....so we use it on some
sites to do more complex things than just an HTTP GET.........is their a
Open Source product that offers this kind of functionality?
	 
	Thanks!
	 
	Chris
