Description

ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for performing health check requests on one or more network devices or network resources. The method and apparatus provide a build tool for building a health check request having an extensible data format adaptable to a protocol supported by the network device or network resource of concern. The health check request can be built using data captured from a unit of network traffic on a transmission medium or with data provided via a user interface, or a combination of both. A health check request built using the method or apparatus can support any protocol including proprietary protocols avoiding the need for a requestor to learn a protocol format in order to build a health check request checking an operational characteristic of a network device or network resource. The method and apparatus allow this to be accomplished using data captured from a successful transaction.
