check_http post illegal character

[blariv]

hi,

I cannot seem to get past this. the check runs fine at the command line but not through the UI.

./check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 300 -s "5a380ddc2e87e46003f86ee5" -f ok -u "/wapi/v1/account/login/" -S -p 443 -P "email=[email protected]&password=password"

I have tried adding a $USERx$ macro in the resources.cfg with the ampersand symbol with no luck.

Hello, @blariv.

Can you show us how this command is defined in Nagios XI, and the error output when you run it? Also, I would like to take a look at the successful output as well(when you run it from the command line).

output from command line
HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 0.530 second response time |time=0.530243s;;;0.000000 size=1319B;;;0

well this is embarrassing. I was running the check with the test command option and it was failing. I went and looked at the actual check and it runs fine.....

sorry you can close this.

@blariv, I'm glad you were able to resolve this. I'll close the thread.
