Nagios HTTP monitoring {Disarmed} {Fraud?}

[Jerad Riggin]

commands.cfg

# 'check_http' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_http
        command_line    $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$
        }

Here is an entry in services.cfg

define service{
        use                             basic-service
        name                            check-site
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command                   check_http!-H site.com -t 5 -a
admin:password -s "String"
        register                        0
        }
