check_http with spaces problem

[Páll Guðjón Sigurðsson]

Put your ARG in quotes. So it looks like this:

$USER1$/check_http -H '$ARG1$' -s '$ARG2$' -w 10 -c 20 

Then it will handle spaces.

Alternatively, you can use custom variables to a check command that is more complex, but in return your service definitions will become much more readable. Example:


define service {
        host_name               HOSTNAME
        service_description     http://...
        check_command           okc-check_http
        use                     generic-service

        __RESPONSE_WARNING      2
        __RESPONSE_CRITICAL     10
        __SEARCH_STRING
        __VIRTUAL_HOST      HOSTNAME
        __PORT              80
        __URI                   /

}



define command {
  command_line                   $USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ -H "$_SERVICE_VIRTUAL_HOST$" -p "$_SERVICE_PORT$" -u "$_SERVICE_URI$" -s "$_SERVICE_SEARCH_STRING$" -w "$_SERVICE_RESPONSE_WARNING$" -c "$_SERVICE_RESPONSE_CRITICAL$"
  command_name                   okc-check_http
}

Subject: [Nagios-users] check_http with spaces problem








Hi, 

I am trying to check multiple http sites, so i configure a bash script which create the service definition but i faced a problem when the expected string has spaces. 

So the command definition is like: 

$USER1$/check_http -H $ARG1$ -s $ARG2$ -w 10 -c 20 

if i pass an $ARG2$ without spaces it's work fine, but if it has spaces nagios can't make check. Could you give me a help? 

Thanks, 

Jim
