The check_http plugin can do what you need and comes with the nagios-plugins package
In it's simplest form:

Code: Select all

./check_http -H abcreporting.com -S

@scottwilkerson I have already tried this command.

Code: Select all

./check_http -H abcreporting.com -S
But it gives me below mentioned error, But I am getting the proper response or web page if I try to access the same url via my web browser.
HTTP CRITICAL: HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable - 1736 bytes in 0.979 second response time |time=0.979090s;;;0.000000 size=1736B;;;0
I observed one more thing while getting the response from web the url changes it's not same url looks like some redirection happens.

You may need the --sni option in order to make sure you're connecting to the correct site:

./check_http -H abcreporting.com --sni -S
