Nagios Support Forum

We just installed Nagios XI on the boxes and was able to verify all the system components are valid green but when trying to add the service for
website monitoring "Web Page Content" that's suppose to check for a string in the website, it returns a warning and under status information it shows
"(No output on stdout) stderr: /bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'"

Can you share your configuration in the CCM for the service "Web Page Content"?

Hi Scott,

It should match the content on the page, but it returns a syntax error.
I tried with another site, and it doesn't return this error.

_URL Content redcap.chop.edu

Warning
(No output on stdout) stderr: /bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Specify the parameters that determine how the service should be monitored.

Under normal circumstances:
Monitor the service every
5
minutes.
When a potential problem is first detected:
Re-check the service every
3
minutes up to
3
times before generating an alert.
Monitor the service with this command: (Advanced users only)

check_xi_service_http!-s "Welcome to REDCap!" -f ok -I 159.14.198.10 -u '/' -p 80

If there's some way I can test or debug this, please let me know.
Thanks,
Leonard

You are going to need to escape the ! in your string, or remove it, perhaps

Thanks Scott I got it!
I had to change it a little bit to follow the 301 redirects we had from http to https, but I removed the ! and add the following and it worked.

Code: Select all

check_xi_service_http!-s "Welcome to REDCap" -f follow -I 159.14.198.10 -u '/' -p 80

Great! Glad you got it working to your liking!
