HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required

[Richard Solid]

This is what I have on my commands.cfg

# 'check_http_401' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_http_401
        command_line    $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -e $ARG1$
        }


And this is what I have on my services.cfg:

define service{
        use                             basic-service
        name                            http_401-service
        notification_options            c,r
        check_command                   check_http!401
        register                        0
        }

define service{
        use                             http_401-service
        service_description             HTTP 401
        contact_groups                  admins
        host_name                       hostname.domain.tld
        }

I restarted Nagios with these changes and no issues but the Nagios interface
is still reporting for hostname hostname.domain.tld:

HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required

Any inputs?
