Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa/issues/1201

I'm working on getting modoboa integrated with third-party monitoring, using grafana and ansible. Being able to run test cases from the web, and at regular intervals, would be useful.

@traverseda A url endpoint to run tests sounds weird to me... Can't you just a shell script through ssh?

I can do pretty much whatever I want, I am a decent programmer ;p

What that would allow for is one-line integration with a bunch of different monitoring frameworks. Type in the url for your monitoring page, if it changes get an email. A crontab running the testcases at regular intervals and outputting the results to some log-monitoring software would of course be better. But making that information available over the web is a decent best-effort for less complex monitoring systems.

It's also an entry point for DoS attacks, since running test cases would take up a bunch of resources. It would have to be handled carefully.

It's a worst solution, because modoboa use a lot of component can be test separately, like postfix, amavis, postgresql/mariadb etc, you can stop mdooboa and Postfix dans the database continue to work perfectly.

On modoboa you can only test the first page return status code 200, other status page available in Nginx or Apache2
