We’ve had an issue with performance of a SOAP interface, and here’s how you go about setting up smokeping to time it:-

extraargs = -H Content-Type:text/xml --data @/srv/scripts/soap_check/soap-test.xml
urlformat = http://server.name.com/url/soap_url


The only annoying problem is that the SOAP payload cannot be included as part of the command line, so any slaves would require the file manually copied into the same location

So after nearly two and a half years I’ve finally said farewell to drupal and gone back to wordpress, why?

Well mostly because I was finding drupal a little too complicated for what I was really wanting – which was just a simple place to keep track of random things – will mean I’ll loose the ability of doing some things that I did like to throw together, but then again – I shouldn’t have so much time to do that now either!

Lets see how long this lasts!
