Basic Nagios Check_http question

[Matthew Wilson]

Hi Larry,
I don't use this plugin but from looking at the help (./check_http --help) a
few things seem wrong:

If you are using an IP you need -I not -H
The plugin is looking to connect to a URL, not to find a file.  Therefore
you need to specify the document's web address, rather than it's physical
path.  Therefore on my system I would use

check_http -H localhost -u /nagios/main.html

as nagios is at http://localhost/nagios/

hope that helps
Matthew Wilson

(Command I use.  This is on the Nagios server and checks the Nagios
main.html on its own directory structure.  I use a real IP address but use
localhost here)
./check_http -H localhost  -a nagios:nagios -u
/usr/local/nagios/share/main.html
(Results)
HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

(I checked with ls to make sure I was looking in the right directory)

ls /usr/local/nagios/share
contexthelp  docs  images  index.html  main.html  media  robots.txt
side.html  ssi  stylesheets
