merry xmas !!

I've to check an https site

https check
./check_http -H www.mysite.it -f follow -S
HTTP OK: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 183891 bytes in 0,079 second response time |time=0,078572s;;;0,000000 size=183891B;;;0

in Nagios check...
define service{
use generic-service ; Name of service template to use
host_name www.mysite.it
service_description Https
check_command check_http!-f follow -S
}

the replay is..
HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found - 492 bytes in 0,020 second response time


the commandi is...
# 'check_http' command definition
define command{
command_name check_http
command_line $USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
}

Hello @nlabardi,

Thank you. Happy Holidays!

Since you are passing the hostname, please try changing the -I to -H in the check command definition: Let me know if that resolve the issue.

It might also be worthwhile to review the parent host definition (for www.mysite.it) and make sure address and host_name are the same, in this case.

@nlabardi, let us know if @benjaminsmith and @mcapra answered your question.

so..
I've fixed the command in ...
command_line $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$

the host name and ip address are consistent with how they should be
define host{
use cloud-server ; Inherit default values from a template
host_name http://www.mysite.it ; The name we're giving to this host
alias mysite.it SITO ; A longer name associated with the host
address xxx.yyy.xxx.yyy ; IP address of the host
}

ping http://www.mysite.it
replay from xxx.yyy.xxx.yyy

ping mysite.it
replay from xxx.yyy.xxx.yyy


am I ignoring something?


(I use -f follow)

@nlabardi, Please change $HOSTADDRESS$ to $HOSTNAME$ in your command.

command_line $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$

OR change the address to http://www.mysite.it in the host definition:

define host{
use cloud-server ; Inherit default values from a template
host_name http://www.mysite.it ; The name we're giving to this host
alias mysite.it SITO ; A longer name associated with the host
address http://www.mysite.it

Bingo!


it's work fine !


thank you and merry new year

@nlabardi, Happy new year!
