Does anyone know what would be an interesting tool to monitor whether services are online or not ?

    Hello, Michel. Welcome to [en.so]! Can you give more details about the requirements? Is the application yours? Do you have a URL that returns the status? If not, what do you consider sufficient to say that it is online? Where will you check it from (same server, different server)?

  • Thank you @utluiz. Yes, I can, it’s about various services that return json and are consumed by other applications or apps. I consider to be ok the fact that there is an internet connection and there is the return of data. I want to be monitoring from a server other than where my application is or provides the services.

The Fiddler utility (http://www.telerik.com/fiddler) represents a good example of a tool with functionalities that make it possible to monitor services. Made available free of charge by the company Telerik, this application can also be used in checks involving Web sites. The Fiddler app has features that enable actions such as:

Debugging/debugging requests sent to an application (website or service). These requests can have diverse origins, such as mobile devices and software installed on conventional systems such as Windows, Mac and Linux; Manipulation of user sessions, with changing the content of requests and responses in the HTTP standard; Safety and performance testing; Customization of monitoring functions, from the implementation of . NET Framework-based extensions.

One possibility is the Runscope. It allows you to write tests of what is expected as a response. Store variables between a request and another so you can make call streams within your API. Test routines can be run manually or automated according to your criteria.
