Nagios HTTP monitoring

[GJP]

Jerad,

I didn't understand that either. That's why I customized the the check_http 
command definition. That way (in my previous example) you can have your http 
checks from any Nagios client. Usefull for instance for  off-site checks.

Regarding the -a switch. The -a $ARG1$ (or whatever) should be in your command 
definition. And your parms as you 'feed' them to the command in your service 
definition seperated with "!".

Regards,

Gerard.
