| By utilising some of the more complex features of isITon it is possible to monitor more than just your web servers. Some examples which are used by isITon clients are: |
|
| Database servers: If your web server has the ability to connect to a database with a scripting language, then create a simple script that returns a unique value from the database. By setting this value as the keyword for isITon to search for, anytime that your database is not functioning correctly isITon will send an alert.
|
|
Transaction and authentication servers: Some web servers connect to transaction servers, but sometimes you may not want a real transaction to take place every time isITon connects.
Two options are possible.
1. create a dummy transaction which does nothing but return a set value which should be used as the keyword for isITon to search for.
2. if your transaction server responds with a standard error message when parameters are incorrect or missing. Set the error message as the keywords for isITon to search for and specify incorrect parameters in the cgi parameter settings.
