Nagios to trigger 15 requests per min to API endpoint.

[kaushalshriyan]

Hi,

Is there a way to send requests for example 15 requests per min to API endpoint http://api.mydomain.com from Nagios server? If any one of the requests fails out of 15 requests/min meaning there is no 200 OK response from the failed request then Nagios should trigger an alert.
I happen to see https://nagios-plugins.org/doc/man/check_http.html. Any examples which will help me understand to use check_http nagios plugin.

Any help will be highly appreciable. Thanks in Advance and i look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,

Kaushal

You would need to create your own plugin for this as this is not a capability of check_http.

Here are the nagios plugin development guidelines
