Setting up monitoring of Servers in JSM

[David Cea]

We would like to setup Assets to reflect our environments and their current status. 

Assets can be both servers or the services that run on the servers. Obviously if a server is down, that will affect the services that run on that server, but for now, I am having problems even getting the server to reflect a status.

We have PRTG as a monitoring tool, and this tool allows for webhooks and all kinds of API integrations. 

Lofi methods also exist (url with status). 

my problem is how to get the corresponding JSM asset to take a state based on the state in PRTG. 

This should be a simple thing, and it should be a standard problem... but I am having problems finding a good solution that isnt 4 services cobbled together in ways even Frankenstein would feel is un-natural.
