Check_http problem

[jenstar13]

Hi, this is a strange one for me
I am moving checks from Core to XI and usually have no problems at all with check_http
This time, the check is expecting the page to be above a certain size
it works fine by command line, and on the server I'm checking by command line

[nagios@prdnagxi01 ~]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -I 10.48.XXX.116 -p 51080 -u "/solr/XXXX_de_DE/select?q=*:*&rows=10&wt=json&indent=true" -m3000
HTTP OK: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 13916 bytes in 0.034 second response time |time=0.034464s;;;0.000000 size=13916B;3000;0;0

But when I activate the check it returns a warning
HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - page size 358 too small - 358 bytes in 0.002 second response time

If I use verbose , the command line returns the whole page, but the GUI cuts it off
is there something in the GUI that truncates output?

I had to randomize some info, but it's checking the output of an apache SOLR server

Can you share you actual check_command line from the service configuration (you can modify the host/URL for privacy)

Basically I'm just trying to make sure that Nagios is going to be executing the exact command you have above.

Can you also paste in the command definition for the command you are using (it will be displayed on the Configure -> CCM -> Services -> Edit page).

Thanks

Sure
the command line was above

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -I 10.48.XXX.116 -p 51080 -u "/solr/XXXX_de_DE/select?q=*:*&rows=10&wt=json&indent=true" -m3000

and the definition is
check_http $USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$

it's just the basic check http request
and I pulled it from the config file if you needed that

define service {
host_name Hostnames here removed
service_description Alert 185 - V9-Solr-Query - XXXX_de_DE
use generic-service
check_command check_http!-t 30 -p 51080 -u "/solr/$ARG2$/select?q=*:*&rows=10&wt=json&indent=true" -m 3000!XXXX_de_DE!!!!!!
check_interval 10
retry_interval 5
active_checks_enabled 1
passive_checks_enabled 1
check_period 24x7

notes_url http://luence.g.net/display/SA/Nagios+v9+solr+alerts
action_url http://$HOSTADDRESS$:51080/solr
register 1

and the definition is
check_http $USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$

Here is the problem

check_command check_http!-t 30 -p 51080 -u "/solr/$ARG2$/select?q=*:*&rows=10&wt=json&indent=true" -m 3000!XXXX_de_DE!!!!!!

You cannot pass $ARG2$ as a value of $ARG1$ you should change to something like this

Code: Select all

check_command check_http!-t 30 -p 51080 -u "/solr/XXXX_de_DE/select?q=*:*&rows=10&wt=json&indent=true" -m 3000!!!!!!!

ok, thank you, it had worked in core but now that I know this, I created a new command for these checks that cheats a little

ARG2 is the only variable that changes so I made a check_http_special

$USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$$ARG2$$ARG3$
and split the url up so I could leave ARG2 by itself and change it (we have multiple servers and instances to check )

Thank you for your help!

[scottwilkerson]

I was going to suggest this but then wasn't sure how much they change..

Glad it is working!
