Nagios Support Forum

Hi everyone,

Is there a way for me to run POST with nagios, other than a curl command embedded in bash script?

I have the following setup
in nrpe.cfg

command[check_http]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -u $ARG3$ -p $ARG4$ -P $ARGS5$

Nagios service definition

define service{
use generic-service
hostgroup_name stage_webservers
service_description Web_sso2_8088_login
check_command check_http!2!4!/fans/rs/login!8088!username=testdude&password=password
notifications_enabled 1
}

Running on my nagios server from command line:

root@stageutil01 libexec]# ./check_http -H stageweb01 -w 2 -c 4 -u /fans/rs/login -p 8088 -P 'username=testdude&password=password'
HTTP OK: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 1590 bytes in 0.197 second response time |time=0.197171s;2.000000;4.000000;0.000000 size=1590B;;;0

On nagios GUI:

Current Status:
WARNING
(for 0d 0h 8m 36s)
Status Information: HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed - 1328 bytes in 0.020 second response time

change this to this

I added the single quotes, but it didn't change

Try url-encoding the ampersand:

Tried that, "No Bueno"

Is there any reason why you are running this check through nrpe?
Have you tried running the command from the cli as user nagios?

What command are you referring to?

I'm running this from command line interface to verify

[root@stageutil01 libexec]# ./check_http -H stageweb01 -w 2 -c 4 -u /fans/rs/login -p 8088 -P 'username=testdude&password=password'
HTTP OK: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 1590 bytes in 0.118 second response time |time=0.117990s;2.000000;4.000000;0.000000 size=1590B;;;0

I have bash script that uses curl to execute, but I don't know how to configure it within Nagios

I was confused by the following:

But it looks like you have the check setup in core without "check_nrpe" (so ignore).
Could you do me a favor and try running the check from the cli as the nagios user?
