Run through the url monitoring wizard. Put in a url with args passed in it:
http://mydomain.com/check.php?monitor=1
Click next and it shows the full proper url at the top.
Run through the rest of the monitoring wizard to add the service.
Initial service check then fails. Why? Oh look at the service definition: Then if you go in and add the ?monitor=1 back on to the end of the url and Update it, it'll stick.
But, the wizard is breaking the full url, doubling work load when adding in new url monitors.

Oh that's very interesting, what version of the wizard are you running? I will do some tests and if we can reproduce it will submit a bug report.

Website URL Version 1.31, which I believe to be the latest.

Yep, I think you are right that, that is the latest. I will do some tests and get back to you!

Is there an easy way to fix this?
It's creating quite a bit of additional work while adding in a ton of url monitors, most of which need variables passed in the url like that.

I found that modifying the url string within the service check with single quotes (') instead of doubles (") resolved the issue. Using double caused other php and potentially mysql issues. I will post a bug for this internally and hopefully resolve it quickly for you. However presently there is not an easy way short of creating the check and modifying the service once created.

Ok thank you. I will keep an eye on this thread for a fix.

Sure, thanks for bringing our attention to this!

This issue was fixed and incorporated into the source trunk. The fix should be available in the latest version of Nagios XI.
