Automox Worklet: Test Website
Every find yourself in need of testing a site remotely? Wondering if it
is actually up? Want to test it from the eyes of your users? This tool is
for you!
Can stand alone or as worklet!
Examples:
.\Test-Website.ps1
–> returns test against automox console by default.
{
“loadedInSeconds”: 0.175,
“statusDescription”: “OK”,
“siteTested”: “https://console.automox.com/”,
“serverType”: “nginx”,
“statusCode”: 200
}
.\Test-Website.ps1 -target www.google.com
–> Tests a specific target you define. This works from your ps console
but most likely will not work for worklets.
{
“loadedInSeconds”: 0.1323,
“statusDescription”: “OK”,
“siteTested”: “www.google.com”,
“serverType”: “gws”,
“statusCode”: 200
}
.\Test-Website.psl -verbose
Shows the hidden outputs for testing.

Faq:
Q: Can I change the default site to something I want to test against?
A: Yes! In the Param section, change $target to whatever you like.
Q: Why JSON as a return?
A: I find it’s easier to accept that input into something else like
another powershell script or a different API or loggin agent like datadog.
Code seems to be butchered here - so I started a github repo!
