What would cause the Connection refused by host? Do I have the wrong command line? I just want the check_https to work. The only thing that worked was ping.

Hi @nickanderson82,

Check to make sure port 80 on your remote host is open.

Internally it is open over port 80, but externally you should be redirected to HTTPS. I'm not sure if that answers your question.

Change the command definition to:

Connection still refused by host. should I pm you the url?

Yes please that will be very helpful to troubleshoot your issue

Sorry about that i got it and working on it.

Please remove the from check_https so that means your command definition should be: That should work well. I tested its on my server and it worked.

Let me PM the output from the command when i ran it with your host name.

Also go to your command line and run to test

Aslo run -S is if you have ssl enabled.



Let me know what you get.

This is what I am receiving
check_http: Invalid option - SSL is not available

Hi @ nickanderson82,

What linux distribution are you using,centos or ubuntu?

It seems you don't have SSL installed and enabled? Do you?

Can you please also post how you defined your service because its supposed to be: Some information about configuring SSL on core..https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... l-tls.html
