Plugin http : passer de expected-content en json+collection

Hello, it would help if you can explain what you are trying to achieve by moving to HTTP Collection so the community can help you best.

Hello,
The target is to do a collection on 5 differents https api, on the same service.

All of them use the value “status”

Do your endpoints return JSON? (seems like you get XML?)

We get xml but with the “single” json mode, it’s work : 

 /usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_protocol_http.pl \  --plugin=apps::protocols::http::plugin \  --mode=json-content \  --hostname=url \  --proto='https' --port='443' \  --urlpath='/api' \  --header='Accept: application/json' \  --lookup='$.status' \  --threshold-value='values' \  --warning-string='' \  --critical-string='^(?!pass$)' \  --ssl-opt='SSL_verify_mode => SSL_VERIFY_NONE'OK: 1 element(s) found | 'count'=1;;;0; 'time'=0.599s;;;0;

Hi ​@btrocme,

As I said in this post: Collections are complex and may be a bit tricky to use. It may not be the only solution to your need. If your need is simple

In your case, json-content is the mode you need. Collections have more features (eg: handle arrays) but they are also more complicated and (I bet) slower.

Hello.

Ok but json-content can’t be used for check multiple api at the same time.

And because it’s not a service with real metrics, we can’t use metaservices on centreon i suppose.
