Good afternoon,

Could anyone comment on this output in the web interface:

HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden - 1491 bytes in 0.009 second response time

generated by the following entry in windows.cfg

Code: Select all

define service
        use                     generic-service
        hostgroup_name          windows-servers
        service_description     HTTP Server
        check_command           check_http
        }

What's it actually telling me, please?

Thanks

Pete

HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden

403 means you don't have authorization to view a particular page. If you opened that host's IP in a browser you would likely get something similar.

You're quite correct - it appears that somebody has taken the server down for maintenance - nice of them to tell me!

Please close this thread and thank you for your reply.
