Hey,

i'm trying to monitor some webservices right now. As far as i read in any usage guides, i've configured the httpmonitor-command correctly. But i still don't get why it is sending out an event notification even when the request is fine. There are tons of notifications with the configured severity saying "HTTP OK: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 554051 bytes in 1,289 second response time". How can i get rid of those? I just want to be notified when a request FAILS, therefore i wouldn't want to change the severity to "clear".

Any hints where i went wrong?

for the record. After googleing around for some time, i found the solution. This. http://community.zenoss.org/message/36514#36514 http://community.zenoss.org/message/36514#36514#36514

Seems like this bug still exists. URLs containing GET-Parameters have to be escaped manually by using single or double quotes.
