Remote POST API Check (Service Check)

Service Check Category: Web Checks

Passive: No

Description:

This check sends a POST request to an API endpoint. If the return value is anything other than the value supplied in the EXPECTED RESPONSE CODE field (defaults to 200) the check will enter a CRITICAL state.

Do not confuse this check with the POST API Check which is for monitoring APIs hosted on devices monitored by Netreo.

• EXPECTED RESPONSE CODE
  (Optional) The status code that must be returned for the check to remain in the OK state.

• DESCRIPTION
  (Required) This field specifies a name for this check. The name entered must be unique among service check names on the host it is added to (the name may used again only on a different host). It is used to identify this specific check from among other service checks added to the same host.
