http/https checks

Hi ​@jadom,

Yes, its possible, a QApp has been developed and tested in NetBrain to test the reachability of external endpoints (e.g., www.endpoint.com). The current implementation has been validated using dynamic input.

Solution Summary:

1. Dynamic Input (Tested & Validated)
   • The QApp prompts for a URL/endpoint as input.
   • The QApp verifies connectivity and checks for a valid response (e.g., HTTP 200 OK)

Please find below snip which shows the summary of QApp. 

import requests

url = $Input1.text

try:
    response = requests.get(url, timeout=5)
    result = {}
    if response.status_code == 200:
        result["status"] = "UP"
        result["code"] = 200
    else:
        result["status"] = "DOWN"
        result["code"] = response.status_code
    AddMessage(result,2)
except Exception as e:
    AddMessage("status: ERROR, details:",str(e))

1. Predefined URL List (Extension Possible)
   • Based on the validated dynamic input, the same mechanism can be applied to a hardcoded list of URLs.
   • These URLs can then be scheduled for automated reachability monitoring at regular intervals via Schedule Run Qapp.
2. Extended Reachability Checks
   • In addition to HTTP/API availability, PING and Traceroute tests can be performed.
   • These can be executed via CLI Command Parser, either from:
     • NetBrain Front Server, or
     • Any managed network device within the NetBrain environment.
