Are you sure this URL exists and is accessible from the nagios XI server?

From the command line can you run

Code: Select all

curl -vvv http://10.0.1.8:9500/dsearch

A This error

Code: Select all

404 Not Found
is something the web server returns if you have an incorrect URL, not when it times out.

Lets run the command with a -v and please post the output

Code: Select all

./check_http -H 10.0.0.8 -u /dsearch -p 9500 -v

Well this is clearly a 404, which leads me to believe that the web server is only serving the page to certain hosts or IP's.

It shouldn't matter but in a URL items after and including # are never sent to a web server.

For clarity, this loads in your browser?
http://10.0.0.70:8080/D2/

If so, you may need to speak to the person who setup the web server to determine if they have some type of filtering going on that they can add your Nagios server to as allowed.
