We've got a need to monitor a bunch of web servers for connectivity and responsiveness.
Theres database server, a bunch of app servers, then the application web servers. In front of those are some reverse proxy web servers, a load balancer and firewalls etc.
All these various bits of kit are managed by different teams, under different service contractors etc. and its all very political trying to get anything done sometimes.
Does anyone know of a scriptable tool/program where we could achieve the following;
connect to a web server on a hostname and port
fire off a GET or POST
wait for a result
report the result
rinse-repeat for rest of the web and proxy servers
Right now we're doing this manually, with the rather excellent Fiddler.
We get it to redirect to each host / port combo and manually call a URL.
So I'm looking for a way to do it better.
