check_http - HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

[xxxvii]

I've set up monitoring for a specific HTTPS website, but am getting the following warning on the Nagios web interface:
HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request - 513 bytes in 0.159 second response time

Here's what the service definition looks like:

Code: Select all

define service{
        use                     generic-service         ; Inherit default value$
        host_name               hostxyz
        service_description     HTTPS - Site X
        check_command           check_http! -H inter-w01-dev.ent.abc.com/applications/SiteX -S
        }

I should mention that I've ran curl on the URL (see code below) and it did successfully return the page source, so I'm unsure why I keep receiving the 400 Bad Request warning from within Nagios.

Code: Select all

curl https://inter-w01-dev.ent.abc.com/applications/SiteX 

Am I missing something?

Could you please provide your cpmmands.cfg (at least the chck_http config)?

Code: Select all

# 'check_http' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_http
        command_line    $USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
        }

What happens if you change it to check_command check_http!-H inter-w01-dev.ent.abc.com -u "/applications/SiteX" -S? The -u flag is for anything after your FQDN.

Also - can you post your host definition as well?

For reference, the -I in your check_http command may cause issues too -

Code: Select all

[root@suse11 libexec]# ./check_http -I 192.168.4.254 -H 192.168.4.254/nagiosxi/images/loginsplash.png

Separating the FQDN and the remainder of the URL did the trick. Thanks!

Thanks for that update and glad to hear it worked out. I'll lock this thread now but feel free to open another if you need assistance with anything else.
