Hi Melanie, On your Nagios host can you telnet to port 8080 from the shell? This will ensure you are actually connecting to the box.
I can see further down that you ran check_http and got a result. Are you running the plugin as the nagios user?

But now I get a connection refused error. Basically I want to monitor whether the apache server on the remote machine is up or not. thanx --- Dennis Huenseler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi there, > > you can't define a check_command like >> check_http -H some -p foo << > in the service deifinition. > > Define a new check in the commands.cfg like > > define command{ > command_name check_http_args > command_line $USER1$/check_http -H $ARG1$ > -p $ARG2$ > } > > And in the service definition then try > > define service{ > use > local-service > ; Name of service template to use > host_name host2 > service_description HTTP > availability > check_command > check_http_args!host2!8080 > } > > Kind regards, > > Dennis Hünseler > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Behalf Of Melanie Pfefer > Sent: Friday, September 07, 2007 11:17 AM > To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Nagios-users] check_http > > hi, > > I ran this from the shell: > > ./check_http -H host2 -p 8088 > HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 1192 bytes in 0.343 seconds > |time=0.342683s;;;0.000000 size=1192B;;;0 > > > now I added these lines in services.cfg: > > define service{ > use > local-service > ; Name of service template to use > host_name host2 > service_description HTTP > availability > check_command check_http > -H > host2 -p 8080 > } > > when I ran ./nagios -v ../etc/nagios.cfg, I have this > error: > > > Error: Service check command 'check_http -H host2 -p 8080' specified > in service 'HTTP availability' for host 'host2' not defined anywhere! > > > PS: in commands.cfg, I have these: > > # 'check_http' command definition > define command{ > command_name check_http > command_line $USER1$/check_http -H > $HOSTADDRESS$ > } > > > thanks. > > > > > ___________________________________________________________ > > Want ideas for reducing your carbon footprint?
