"CRITICAL - Socket timeout" status for check_http

[srivemp1]

Hi,

Recently we have changed server ip for hosts after ip change check_http for url monitoring is throwing error as below

[root@nagmonm101 libexec]# ./check_http -H daledhm101.os.s.net.ibm.com -S -u https://daledhm101.os.s.net.ibm.com:8051
CRITICAL - Socket timeout

[[email protected] ~]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -H daledhm101.os.s.net.ibm.com -u /logs -S -p 8051
CRITICAL - Socket timeout

But urls are working absolutely fine.

Any idea why exactly it is showing error

Hi,

Please try running that check again directly from the CLI, but this time let's add the verbose (-v) and timeout (-t 60) option, and then post the full output to the thread. It maybe timing out or not connecting (the verbose option will provide more data).

For example:

Code: Select all

usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -H daledhm101.os.s.net.ibm.com -u /logs -S -p 8051 -v -t 60

Regards,
Benjamin

Hi,

There must be something blocking the connection. Are you able to ping the address from the XI server?

Please run the following curl command against that URL and post the full output to the thread. Thanks, Benjamin

Code: Select all

curl -k -L -v https://example.com/test
