Hi Brad,
You'll need to write a script to do this. You can use wget
or curl to download the web page and then use grep to search for the information
you're looking for. You might have to get a little creative with your grep to
get the specific piece of information you need. Then capture the return code of
grep to determine if the search was successful. Send the status information to
BB based on grep's return code.
You might want to download a few of the scripts on deadcat
so you have examples to go by. I'd send you one, but the few I've written are
more complicated than what you need and may confuse you more than help
you.
If you get completely stuck, send me an email and I'll see
if I can come up with a simple example. I'm assuming your BB server is
running on some type of Unix.

Hi
All,
My name is Brad and I was just recently hired on as a system administrator (my
first job as a system admin) and the person who was doing our monitoring
unexpectedly quit. This means that I have taken over administrating our Big
Brother monitoring software for our production facility. For the most part I
have it down pretty well. However today I was tasked with monitoring something
I am not sure how. Basically we have a pool of servers that each has its own
servlet page which is dynamically updated. What I need it to do is page if the
number generated by the servlet is 0. Anything greater than 0 is fine. I was
wondering if there was a clean way of doing this in Big Brother. I know how to
have Big Brother check to see if a servlet page is alive or not (we currently
have that set up for each server), however parsing information on a page is
alittle of my grasp. Hopefully someone will have some ideas. I appreciate any
help you can provide, and I look forward to participating in this
group.
Thank
you,
Brad
