Deleting/Removing data from Nagios/HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

[Robert Snyder]

Hi,

I have two questions:

1) I have just spent the last week getting Nagios set up on OS X to
monitor about 20 servers and 60 services. I am still adding services,
but needless to say, over the past week I have created a lot of false
warnings and errors. 

Is there a way to flush the existing data from Nagios so that now that I
have all of the services working correctly (and no more error 127's) I
can show the reports to others without them freaking out about all the
critical errors?



2) Also, can anyone tell me why when I use $ARG1$ to pass the URI value
for -u from the service configuration back to the check_http check I get
HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request's, but when I hard code the exact
same value for the URI in the checkcommands.cfg file the service works fine?

For example:

This entry in the checkcommands.cfg 

# 'check_ODIN' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_ODIN
        command_line    /opt/local/libexec/nagios/check_http -ssl -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -u /cgi-bin/WebObjects/SMERXCode
        }

works 100% with this entry in minimal.cfg

define service{
        use                             generic-service          ; Name
of service $
        hostgroup_name                  ODINProWeb
        service_description             ODINLogin
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  admins-group
        notification_interval           30
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            c,r
        check_command                   check_ODIN
        }
         

BUT THIS PAIR DOES NOT:


# 'check_woapplication' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_woapplication
        command_line    /opt/local/libexec/nagios/check_http -H
$HOSTADDRESS$  -u "$ARG1$"
        }


define service{
        use                             generic-service          ; Name
of service $
        hostgroup_name                  ODINProWeb
        service_description             ODINLogin
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  admins-group
        notification_interval           30
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            c,r
        check_command                   check_woapplication!/cgi-bin/
WebObjects/SMERXCode
        }
         

In the second case I get HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request.

I have tried all manors of quoting, not quoting, and such for the URI value.


Thanks for any insight to both questions
