How to check_http with no ping? Required by Cloudflare
Posted: Thu Feb 01, 2018 4:49 pm
Because Cloudflare does not support ping, a simple check_http is not useful because the host is reported as DOWN despite the HTTP service being detected as functional.
Host Status: DOWN (for 2d 7h 22m 4s)
Status Information: PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100%
I don't see a ping test in check_http, so that can not be disabled with that plugin. Yet the check_http command which is configured for the test is supposed to define what is tested. How is one supposed to disable what is apparently an implied ping test?
