Nagios Support Forum

Hello

I need to get an alert when one of our webpages goes on error ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

For example I have found a website whith the error and am trying to build the nagios check on it:
http://www.amu-asie.org
and one of it page: http://www.amu-asie.org/5697-2 goes on this error

I would like to show that on Nagios

I tried with -f follow from check_http but nothing.. Just tells me the redirect is fine..

my service:

define service{
use generic-service
host_name amu-asie.org
service_description just-a-test
check_command check_http!/5697-2!-f follow

}

I'm a new guy on nagios by the way

Unfortunately the number of allowed redirects isn't something you can gather from the server, it is dependent on the browser setting.

I would suggest setting up a check on the page you are redirecting to and NOT adding the -f command, this way it won't follow

example

Hi
Tried that, not working
Is that possible to do continuous followup and get a limit for a critical? Example, follow max 3 times then stop

You would have to write that logic into a custom plugin, that functionality isn't built in.

Finally I foundfrom where was the issue I had to do a define command{} and to enter everything manually to get it work

Thanks
