HTTP monitoring states
Perform an HTTP query and statefully return the result
New in version 2015.5.0.
Perform an HTTP query and statefully return the result
Passes through all the parameters described in the
utils.http.query function
:
The name of the query.
Specifies a pattern to look for in the return text. By default, this will perform a string comparison of looking for the value of match in the return text.
Specifies the type of pattern matching to use on match. Default is string
, but
can also be set to pcre
to use regular expression matching if a more
complex pattern matching is required.
Note
Despite the name of match_type
for this argument, this setting
actually uses Python's re.search()
function rather than Python's
re.match()
function.
The status code for a URL for which to be checked. Can be used instead of
or in addition to the match
setting. This can be passed as an individual status code
or a list of status codes.
Specifies the type of pattern matching to use for status. Default is string
, but
can also be set to pcre
to use regular expression matching if a more
complex pattern matching is required. Additionally, if a list of strings representing
statuses is given, the type list
can be used.
New in version 3000.
Note
Despite the name of match_type
for this argument, this setting
actually uses Python's re.search()
function rather than Python's
re.match()
function.
If both match
and status
options are set, both settings will be checked.
However, note that if only one option is True
and the other is False
,
then False
will be returned. If this case is reached, the comments in the
return data will contain troubleshooting information.
