Nagios Support Forum

Hi,
I need help with one of the plugins, or a least an alternative solution.
I have a Nagios server, that is installed on a dedicated machine, lets say server IP is x.x.x.x .
I have an IIS server which is running a specific webpage. It is an HTTPS website, but its not the problem. I want to monitor this website
using the plugin "check_http_content" which I downloaded from Nagios exchange. Since I want to monitor this web page locally, the only way to browse it is only using these links:
http://localhost/
http://127.0.0.1/

But if I put one of the addresses mentioned above to the check, it browses the local web page of Nagios. Is there a way to run check_http_content localy on the IIS (let say the IP is y.y.y.y) ? Maybe using nrpe?

If you didn't understand the problem, please let me know.
Thanks.

If you cannot access the web page on the IIS box remotely, then you will need to use an agent and a windows plugins script to check it. This can be done with nsclient in nrpe mode and a powershell script.
