I want to add monitoring of Ciphermail gateways to my Centreon instance. Reading the documentation, Ciphermail provides HTTP endpoints that returns a {OK|Warning|Critical|Unknown}report.
I thought I could use the HTTP Server connector but this seems to force you to test the content of the response in one way or another. Is there a way to just use the content as-is?

hello
centreon works by executing command, and that command must provide a “return code”
so simply getting the text from a web page is not sufficient to make a centreon check
you have a specific http check included in centreon with this service template
where you can say you expect “OK” in the content
doing more would need you to code your own command (bash, perl, python, whatever) that would query the web page, interpret the output and return the correct code to centreon

I was so surprised to not be allowed to set thresholds that I forgot about the return code. I’ve whipped up a shell script that returns the output of the HTTP call but also the appropriate return code.
