How do I check if a website is up?

[Assaf Flatto]

Not nessaceily .

If you have that website in your network , you can just define the check_http check to that host.
also you can add in one of the parameters the specific URL you wish to query .

-u, --url=PATH
    URL to GET or POST (default: /)


Or you can define a check on the nagios server it self to query the web site like this :

# 'check_website' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_website
        command_line    $USER1$/check_http -H www.website.com 
}


If not , then you need to build a new host definition and service check for that host .
