Thanks for hearing my word.

Btw, I tried with following values but still my IP is getting banned.
1. check_interval - 20mins

The owner of this website (<host_name>) has banned your IP address (). So could you please tell about h...

Okay..! Now i understand how it works and will use it accordingly. Now if you want you can close the topic.

Hi, I again tried command this way: # /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -H fredriknas.se -I 188.95.227.20 -t 30 -p 80 ..... and it resulted: HTTP OK: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 70733 bytes in 0.625 second response time |time=0.624653s;;;0.000000 size=70733B;;;0 Is it right way to use both the options -H and...
