simple page request check?

Hello HypericHQ community,

I have successfully installed Hyperic HQ on my MacOSX 10.6. It auto-detects Apache and Tomcat well and can show me some statistics.

However, I would like to know if it is possible to add an extra monitoring-source: the GET query of a web-page of which one could plot the load time and, more importantly, check for an expected substring and trigger alerts if this is missing.

I don't see a way to do that currently.

At the Apache resource, I can only add a mod_jk_worker service...

Do I need to fetch/write/install new plugins? If yes, which?

thanks in advance.

Paul
