Nagios HTTP monitoring

You might try closing the "!" in the service definition and putting
double quotes around the $ARGn$ parameters in the command file.

Any idea why this -a switch isn't working?

 

If I do this in a command prompt it works fine: ./check_http -S -H
url.com -a username:password it returns an OK.

 

The same command in nagios won't work (unauthorized).

else I could be missing?

Jerad,

No entirely, because you feed the arguments to the actual command with
$ARGn$

So in de service definition: 

check_http!site.com!5!admin:password

And the command_line format in command definition (probably
in: /etc/nagios-plugins/config/http.cfg) should be:

command_line    /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -H $ARG1$ -t $ARG2$
-a 
$ARG3$

Be carefull with that "-t 5" btw. That is a very low value to timeout.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Gerard.
