How to check that Reporting Services is working

  • Hello experts,

    I need to provide a URL or other way for my systems team to use our monitoring app (Zenoss) to check whether the Report Manager is accessible to clients - that is, the automated equivalent of going to the Report Manager home page and making sure it comes up. One question I don't know is whether there is any way to test that report server URL without requiring authentication.

    Could anyone kindly provide advice on how I might do this? I think I'm OK regarding the SQL components - we already can monitor the report server instance, jobs, etc.

    Thanks for any help!
