webinject

Check command object for the check_webinject plugin.

Custom Attributes:

Name Description
webinject_config_file Optional. There is a configuration file named 'config.xml' that is used to store configuration settings for your project. You can use this to specify which test case files to run and to set some constants and settings to be used by WebInject.
webinject_output Optional. This option is followed by a directory name or a prefix to prepended to the output files. This is used to specify the location for writing output files (http.log, results.html, and results.xml). If a directory name is supplied (use either an absolute or relative path and make sure to add the trailing slash), all output files are written to this directory. If the trailing slash is ommitted, it is assumed to a prefix and this will be prepended to the output files. You may also use a combination of a directory and prefix.
webinject_no_output Optional. Suppresses all output to STDOUT except the results summary.
webinject_timeout Optional. The value [given in seconds] will be compared to the global time elapsed to run all the tests. If the tests have all been successful, but have taken more time than the 'globaltimeout' value, a warning message is sent back to Icinga.
webinject_report_type Optional. This setting is used to enable output formatting that is compatible for use with specific external programs. The available values you can set this to are: nagios, mrtg, external and standard.
webinject_testcase_file Optional. When you launch WebInject in console mode, you can optionally supply an argument for a testcase file to run. It will look for this file in the directory that webinject.pl resides in. If no filename is passed from the command line, it will look in config.xml for testcasefile declarations. If no files are specified, it will look for a default file named 'testcases.xml' in the current [webinject] directory. If none of these are found, the engine will stop and give you an error.
