HTTP monitor: How do I validate on only parts of a JSON response?

rsmsdk — Thu, 25 Aug 2022 08:25:24 GMT

I'm currently working on an HTTP monitor where I don't know how to validate the JSON response.

It is a status.io endpoint that I would like to query, but the JSON response contains more info than I need. Is it possible to isolate two objects with post-execution scripts prior to validation? Let's say I wanted to validate on Voice DK & Agent application status.

If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated 😊

Endpoint:
https://api.status.io/1.0/status/58207f2bf02471510e000303

You will need to parse the json with javascript code.

Example:

{ "totalCount": 3, "nextPageKey": null, "resolution": "1m", }

body = response.getResponseBody(); obj = JSON.parse(body); totalCount = obj.totalCount; api.setValue("totalCount", totalCount); if (totalCount == 0) { api.fail("Total Count is null"); } else { api.info("Total Count is not null"); }

You just need to proper parse the result json you get from the status page to get the proper field for validation.
