What is the best way to monitor webservice is up or down?

[indeed_2000]

Hi

i have several web servers that work on same host (different port) or different host.

the best to say that they are work are use curl command, like below

curl -s http://192.168.1.1:8000 | grep login

Now question is is there any way to monitor these services without pain in splunk? Any add on(like nmon)?

or should writ script to create logfile like below then index it on splunk?

TIMESTAMP service 1, up

TIMESTAMP service 2, down

any idea?

 Thanks

@ehudb the add-on that you mentioned work based on resp code, and resp time.

as I mentioned the best way in this case use curl command, because even resp code is 200 webserver could have issue to show login page. And resp time not important in this case.

any other idea?

 Thanks
