Problem Detecting Outages of Custom HTTP Service Monitor

Hello,

I'm having trouble getting a custom poller to log outages to the events 
list. I've set up a new service in capsd:

<protocol-plugin protocol="MyCustomTest" 
class-name="org.opennms.netmgt.capsd.plugins.HttpPlugin" scan="on">
<property key="port" value="80" />
<property key="timeout" value="30000" />
<property key="retry" value="1" />
<property key="url" value="/testpage.php"/>
</protocol-plugin>

This appears to work fine. The service shows up in my node's service 
list. Once I'd done that I noticed it was set to "Not Monitored" so 
after some reading I realised I needed a poller service for the 
monitoring to work. As such I added the following to my 
poller-configuration:

<service name="MyCustomTest" interval="300000" user-defined="false" 
status="on">
<parameter key="retry" value="1" />
<parameter key="timeout" value="30000" />
<parameter key="port" value="80" />
<parameter key="url" value="/testpage.php" />
<parameter key="response-text" value="~.*THE PAGE CONTENT.*"/>
<parameter key="rrd-repository" value="/opt/opennms/share/rrd/response" />
<parameter key="rrd-base-name" value="switch-customtest" />
<parameter key="ds-name" value="switch-customtest" />
</service>

Once I'd restarted opennms my service showed up as 100% available. So 
next I tried stopping the webserver on the node. This caused the default 
HTTP and HTTPS services to show up in the Recent Outage list but my 
custom service did nothing. I've been fiddling about with it for a long 
time and whatever I do I can't get the custom service to show as offline 
in the openNMS UI.

Is there something obvious I'm missing here? If not how can I debug this 
issue?

Thanks,

Stefan
