Can LM subscribe to an RSS feed as a datasource, and alert on update? | Archive

Example #1Health reporting feeds - we use SaaS hosted telephony services, that don\'t allow us to poll their internal systems for functionality - but they do publish RSS feeds with the general health status of major internal components. I\'d like to receive LM alerts when those health reports change from good to bad - or when there\'s any new health status update.Example #2We support many client\'s use of Office365 for hosted mail. However occasionally Microsoft changes their public IP addresses and we need to alert our clients of the need to update their firewalls, webfilters, proxies, etc.... Microsoft announces this change by way of updating a KB article (every few months it seems) and they allow the article updates to be subscribed to via RSS. I would love an alert when this KB article changes! (right now I am using the LM service monitor to read the page and look for the timestamp string - when the timestamp of the KB article changes I get an alert...)Thanks!
