[rt-users] monitoring RT

[Tom Lanyon]

We also have a basic perl script using WWW::Mechanize which opens the  
login page, logs in with a 'nagios' user and ensures it gets a valid  
response (we check for a 200 OK and that the content matches "RT at a  
glance". If this fails it generates a critical nagios alert and wakes  
the on-call staff up.

Regards,
Tom
