Hello,

I know how check a html page using a DCI with NetworkService.Status().
However, my use case requires logging in as a first step and then checking a page once logged in.
The server does not allow request replay, so I cannot just add the credentials in the header.
How do I set this up using NetXMS?

Kind regards,
Dan

If this web site supports standard authentication methods, you can use Web Services. In this case you have to create web service definition (with "Process response as plain text") and then can have a DCI with Web Service source and metric
web_service_name:some text that should be on the web page
Then you can have theshold for data collection error.

Or alternatively you can have script DCI that would call web service using NXSL function.
