CSS Script to search for a specific Keyword for keepalive

[chetona]

Hello

I am trying to figure out if this is possible. I want the CSS to check a web page for a specific word such as "ClientABC" any where in the page. If the word is found, then CSS will assume that page is working fine.

The reason for this is: we want to know if database does not send the output to the page, CSS should tell us that.

I found one script close to this but not sure if this will help me at all..

------------------------------------------

!no echo

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

! Filename: ap-kal-httptag

! Parameters: HostName WebPage HostTag

!

! Description:

! This script will connect to the remote host and do an HTTP

! GET method upon the web page that the user has asked for.

! This script also adds a host tag to the GET request.

!

! Failure Upon:

! 1. Not establishing a connection with the host.

! 2. Not receiving an HTTP status "200 OK"

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if ${ARGS}[#] "NEQ" "3"

echo "Usage: ap-kal-httptag \’Hostname WebPage HostTag\’"

exit script 1

endbranch

! Defines:

set HostName "${ARGS}[1]"

set WebPage "${ARGS}[2]"

set HostTag "${ARGS}[3]"

! Connect to the remote Host

set EXIT_MSG "Connection Failure"

socket connect host ${HostName} port 80 tcp

! Send the GET request for the web page

set EXIT_MSG "Send: Failed"

socket send ${SOCKET} "GET ${WebPage} HTTP/1.0\nHost: ${HostTag}\n\n"

! Wait for a good status code

set EXIT_MSG "Waitfor: Failed"

socket waitfor ${SOCKET} "200 OK"

no set EXIT_MSG

socket disconnect ${SOCKET}

exit script 0

I see no way to set that up in the docs. You could ask Cisco or at least put in an enhancement request.

Hi there !

I am not sure about the current status of your investigation but I believe there are a number of ways to do what you want by just using the http keepalives / get statement.

I think that what you really want to do is to monitor the database connection and for this you can create a test page (asp) that connects to the backend db and returns either a 'success' or 'failed'.

The page contents only change on failure causing the CSS to pull that webserver out of the cluster.
