check_xi_service_http vs check_http

[soniah]

What is the difference between check_xi_service_http and check_http?

In this particular case (http) I'm wondering if the two commands accept the same parameters, but I'm also interested in the general differences in the xi_service commands.

I've searched my system for a check_xi_service_http executable but haven't found one, so I presume invocation is caught by some sort of hook.

Code: Select all

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

define command {
       command_name                     check_xi_service_http
       command_line                     $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
}

One uses -I and one uses -H, and both are defined in the commands.cfg file. Should be in the CCM as well.

}
