[Nagios-users] check_http

[Melanie Pfefer]

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.

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,

the configuration went ok as you've said. But now I
get a connection refused error.

Basically I want to monitor whether the apache server
on the remote machine is up or not.
thanx

Hi Melanie,

On your Nagios host can you telnet to port 8080 from the shell? This will ensure you are actually connecting to the box.

I can see further down that you ran check_http and got a result.

Are you running the plugin as the nagios user?

Regards

Tom
