# site: https://foo.com # content: <html><head></head><body>This is my content</body></html> use HealthCheck::Diagnostic::WebRequest; # Look for a 200 status code and pass. my $diagnostic = HealthCheck::Diagnostic::WebRequest->new( url => 'https://foo.com', ); my $result = $diagnostic->check; print $result->{status}; # OK # Look for a 401 status code and fail. $diagnostic = HealthCheck::Diagnostic::WebRequest->new( url => 'https://foo.com', status_code => 401, ); $result = $diagnostic->check; print $result->{status}; # CRITICAL # Look for any status code less than 500. $diagnostic = HealthCheck::Diagnostic::WebRequest->new( url => 'https://foo.com', status_code => '<500', ); $result = $diagnostic->check; print $result->{status}; # CRITICAL # Look for any 403, 405, or any 2xx range code $diagnostic = HealthCheck::Diagnostic::WebRequest->new( url => 'https://foo.com', status_code => '403, 405, >=200, <300', ); $result = $diagnostic->check; print $result->{status}; # CRITICAL # Look for a 200 status code and content matching the string regex. $diagnostic = HealthCheck::Diagnostic::WebRequest->new( url => 'https://foo.com', content_regex => 'is my', ); $result = $diagnostic->check; print $result->{status}; # OK # Use a regex as the content_regex. $diagnostic = HealthCheck::Diagnostic::WebRequest->new( url => 'https://foo.com', content_regex => qr/is my/, ); $result = $diagnostic->check; print $result->{status}; # OK # POST Method: Look for a 200 status code and content matching the string. my $data = { foo => 'tell me something', }; my $encoded_data = encode_utf8(encode_json($data)); my $header = [ 'Content-Type' => 'application/json; charset=UTF-8' ]; my $url = 'https://dev.payment-express.net/dev/env_test'; my $request = HTTP::Request->new('POST', $url, $header, $encoded_data); $diagnostic = HealthCheck::Diagnostic::WebRequest->new( request => $request, status_code => 200, content_regex => "tell me something", ); $result = $diagnostic->check; print $result->{status}; # OK
Determines if a web request to a url or request is achievable. Also has the ability to check if the HTTP response contains the right content, specified by content_regex. Sets the status to "OK" or "CRITICAL" based on the success of the checks.
url
request
content_regex
status
The site that is checked during the HealthCheck. It can be any HTTP/S link. By default, it will send GET requests. Use "request" if you want a more complicated HTTP request.
Either this option or "request" are required, and are mutually exclusive.
Allows passing in HTTP::Request object in order to use other HTTP request methods and form data during the HealthCheck.
Either this option or "url" are required, and are mutually exclusive.
The expected HTTP response status code, or a string of status code conditions.
Conditions are comma-delimited, and can optionally have an operator prefix. Any condition without a prefix goes into an OR set, while the prefixed ones go into an AND set. As such, == is not allowed as a prefix, because it's less confusing to not use a prefix here, and more than one condition while a == condition exists would not make sense.
OR
AND
==
Some examples:
!500 # Anything besides 500 200, 202 # 200 or 202 200, >=300, <400 # 200 or any 3xx code <400, 405, !202 # Any code below 400 except 202, or 405, # ie: (<400 && !202) || 405
The default value for this is '200', which means that we expect a successful request.
The content regex to test for in the HTTP response. This is an optional field and is only checked if the status code check passes. This can either be a string or a regex.
Setting this variable prevents the healthcheck from following redirects.
See LWP::UserAgent for available options. Takes a hash reference of key/value pairs in order to configure things like ssl_opts, timeout, etc.
It is optional.
By default provides a custom agent string and a default timeout of 7.
