Hi,
I want to monitor my website using Nagios, I have created a check_http. I want to know how to add this URL for Nagios monitoring.
I am using Linux server. Thanks

The usage of the default check_http is wicked simple:
Code: Select all
[jdalrymple@localhost libexec]$ ./check_http --help
<snip>
Usage:
check_http -H <vhost> | -I <IP-address> [-u <uri>] [-p <port>]
[-J <client certificate file>] [-K <private key>]
[-w <warn time>] [-c <critical time>] [-t <timeout>] [-L] [-E] [-a auth]
[-b proxy_auth] [-f <ok|warning|critcal|follow|sticky|stickyport>]
[-e <expect>] [-d string] [-s string] [-l] [-r <regex> | -R <case-insensitive regex>]
[-P string] [-m <min_pg_size>:<max_pg_size>] [-4|-6] [-N] [-M <age>]
[-A string] [-k string] [-S <version>] [--sni] [-C <warn_age>[,<crit_age>]]
[-T <content-type>] [-j method]
NOTE: One or both of -H and -I must be specified
<snip>
[jdalrymple@localhost libexec]$ ./check_http www.google.com
HTTP OK: HTTP/1.0 200 OK - 18547 bytes in 0.148 second response time |time=0.148243s;;;0.000000 size=18547B;;;0

Thanks for your response!!
I run that command (/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins)$ ./check_http
www.google.com
It was perfect, running exactly as we predicted.
But how about incorporate it on my nagios interface, I do not want to check this everytime. I want to monitor it always and add it to nagios monitor screen!!!
Thanks!!

When I hit ./check_http ServerURL(internal website)
it says "HTTP Critical-Unable to open tcp socket"
why it is working fine with ww.google.com but not with our internal server url?

Can our Nagios server resolve the hostname you are using to your internal server?

If the remote server runs only HTTP and not HTTPS, you’ll get “HTTP CRITICAL – Unable to open TCP socket” message as shown below.
Do you think this my problem, https? any idea how to resolve this?
