[Nagios-users] check_http and differents ports

[Diego Giurgola]

Hi all. I have a problem with check_http. I'd like to monitor my apache
server, which is running on 10080 port. When I try to use the script from
shell, it works wonderfully:

[***@gentoonagios]# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -I localhost -p
10080
HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 306 bytes in 0,004 seconds
|time=0,003844s;;;0,000000 size=306B;;;0

But, when I setup the nagios services.cfg file and get nagios on, it refuses
to work, and it says me "Connection refused".
So, what is the clue?

Thanks a lot for your time.

your nagios configuration is probably wrong, double check your
checkcommands.cfg and your services.cfg where you are calling the command.

If you are specifying in services.cfg

checkcommand check_http!-p 100080

then you will need the command to have an $ARG1$ variable after it in
checkcommands.cfg.

err, correction, that's supposed to be check_command in services.cfg and
you'll need a corresponding $ARG1$ on the line command_line in
checkcommands.cfg.

I solved in this way. Thanks!

Ok, that's good, remember to CC the list so that other people can learn
from it too.

Thanks

Done.

First off

Don't try checks as root. Root can do what ever it wants.

Re run your check on the command line logged in as the nagios user. Let
us know what you get as a result.

HOST:/usr/local/nagios/libexec # su - nagios
***@HOST:~> id
uid=1001(nagios) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),1001(nagcmd)


HOST: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -I localhost -p 10080 -v -v

Note im using verbose mode so we can see what going on.

Also send excerpts from your log files showing what's going on

Regards

Tom

I agree with Hari. Most likely you're not checking what you believe
you're checking. Without the service{} and command{} definitions to
look at we can't really be more specific than that.
