check_http

[Dennis Huenseler]

Hi there,

you can't define a check_command like >> check_http -H some -p foo << in the service deifinition.

Define a new check in the commands.cfg like

define command{
        command_name    check_http_args
        command_line    $USER1$/check_http -H $ARG1$ -p $ARG2$
        }

And in the service definition then try

define service{
        use                             local-service 
       ; Name of service template to use
        host_name                       host2
        service_description             HTTP
availability
        check_command                   check_http_args!host2!8080
        }

Kind regards,

Dennis Hünseler

hi,

I ran this from the shell:

./check_http -H host2 -p 8088
HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 1192 bytes in 0.343 seconds
|time=0.342683s;;;0.000000 size=1192B;;;0


now I added these lines in services.cfg:

define service{
        use                             local-service 
       ; Name of service template to use
        host_name                       host2
        service_description             HTTP
availability
        check_command                   check_http -H
host2 -p 8080
        }

when I ran ./nagios -v ../etc/nagios.cfg, I have this
error:


Error: Service check command 'check_http -H host2 -p
8080' specified in service 'HTTP availability' for
host 'host2' not defined anywhere!


PS: in commands.cfg, I have these:

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


thanks.
