[SOLVED]. That did it. Can't believe I even wrote the command line and included it, but I just followed the default. But thanks.<br><br>Looking forward to all the learning from both playing and the group.<br><br><br>

haven't installed anything on the webservers (yet), but I do wish to via snmp
do load, cpu, etc. or if there is a better way like a client daemon, feel free
to let me know. I am still reading/understanding what each is used for
(service.cfg, commands.cfg, etc.) but I have the following all for that check;<br>
<br>
services.cfg<br>
define service {<br>
service_description
check_s1<br>
use
generic-service<br>
hostgroup_name
s1_WebServers<br>
check_command
check_s1!3!5<br>
}<br>
<br>
check_commands.cfg<br>
define command {<br>
command_name
check_s1<br>
command_line
$USER1$/check_http -H <a href="http://www.site1.com" target="_blank">www.site1.com</a> -w
"$ARG1$" -c "$ARG2$"<br>
}<br>
<br>
command.cfg has;<br>
command[check_s1]=/usr/local/groundwork/nagios/libexec/check_http -H <a href="http://www.site1.com" target="_blank">www.site1.com</a> -I $HOSTADDRESS$<br>
<br>
As for where the local command was run, yes it was local to the groundwork
(nagios) server from the following location;<br>
<br>
root@groundwork:/usr/local/groundwork/nagios/libexec/check_http -H <a href="http://www.site1.com" target="_blank">www.site1.com</a> -I 192.168.50.101<br>
HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 14351 bytes in 0.249 seconds
|time=0.249456s;;;0.000000 size=14351B;;;0<br>
<br>
I am not sure what the NRPE plugin is but just looking at the options, it looks
like it's run on the client as there is no spot for IP, when run local it
simply says connection refused by host for the <a href="http://site1.com" target="_blank">site1.com</a>
domain.<br>
<br>
Thanks.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">Hi all,
well I am running GroundWork open source and really happy with the layout, etc.
and now comes the nagios things. My goal is to setup things neatly,
organized and learn as I go rather than asking stupid q's along the way.
So with that, the 1st task;<br>
<br>
I have 8 webservers all host numerous sites, a few host only select. So I
have created some hostgroups, adding the servers that belong to each, and
wonderfully it works. I can select a server, see the group, click the
group, see the servers (did I mention I'm good) :)<br>
<br>
Anyway, I want to setup 2 seperate checks one for each website, then associate
them with the groups, so for example;<br>
ws1 (site1, site2)<br>
ws2 (site1)<br>
ws3 (site1, site2)<br>
ws4 (site2)<br>
<br>
Pretty simple. So I copied the check_http command where I saw it used and
have the following;<br>
<br>
command[check_http]=/usr/local/groundwork/nagios/libexec/check_http -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -I $HOSTADDRESS$<br>
command[check_s1]=/usr/local/groundwork/nagios/libexec/check_http -H <a href="http://www.site1.com" target="_blank">www.site1.com</a> -I $HOSTADDRESS$<br>
command[check_s2]=/usr/local/groundwork/nagios/libexec/check_http -H <a href="http://www.site2.com" target="_blank">www.site2.com</a> -I $HOSTADDRESS$<br>
<br>
The services.cfg has the following (will only show 1 for space)<br>
<br>
define service {<br>
service_description check_s1<br>
use
generic-service<br>
hostgroup_name
s1_WebServers<br>
check_command check_s1!3!5<br>
}<br>
<br>
Now after the above setup and a restart, I have happy to see the check_s1
listed but it's showing critical with the following error;<br>
CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds <br>
<br>
At the command line check it does work;<br>
./check_http -H <a href="http://www.site1.com" target="_blank">www.site1.com</a>
-I 192.168.50.101<br>
HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 14398 bytes in 0.090 seconds
|time=0.089949s;;;0.000000 size=14398B;;;0<br>
<br>
I am looking through where people are increasing the timeout, but the response
time is not even a second, so there must be something else I am missing.
So I am looking forward to learning more, welcome any ideas, suggestions, or
anything else I should know about using nagios under groundwork.<br>
<br>
This is running under ubuntu-8.10 server, Program Version:3.0.6, let me know
what else I can or need to provide on this.<br>
